From http://m-w.com/dictionary/mouse :
Main Entry: 1mouse
Pronunciation: ‘maus
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural mice /’mIs/
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English mus; akin to Old High German mus mouse, Latin mus, Greek mys mouse, muscle
1 : any of numerous small rodents (as of the genus Mus) with pointed snout, rather small ears, elongated body, and slender tail
2 : a timid person
3 : a dark-colored swelling caused by a blow; specifically : BLACK EYE
4 : a small mobile manual device that controls movement of the cursor and selection of functions on a computer display

End of the debate.

Anyways, that’s quite sick when you think about it. But, if we keep on trying to eliminate bacteria, we might just create the next supervirus which will kill us all, as they will become more and more resistant to all the stuff we use to try and kill them.

“mouse’s” is not the plural form of a computer’s mouse. an apostrophe-s denotes ownership, so a plural form of a word would not have an apostrophe until after the s.

really now. this was fourth grade information, and yet people everywhere like to prove their ignorance (not just you).

“Actually, the word mouse for the computer is in no way related to the animal (mouse).”
Yes it is…
