Subject: Mouses



Just last month I was in Orem, Utah and saw a computer store that was

advertising 'mice.' It seemed strange. I think this situation is

analogous to 'fly out' in baseball-- 'Smith flied out to right last

inning', not 'flew out.' Altho a word might already have a past or

plural, a new meaning for the word might effect a new past or plural form.

My vote goes to 'mouses.'
