Well, for completeness, since I haven't seen it mentioned, I thought I'd throw

in louse/lice.



For myself, knowing the mouse/mice relationship goes way back to the dawn of

learning to speak. However, the louse/lice association seems to have arrived

somewhere between the years of 10 and 15, and was quite a revelation. Until

that point the words were independent of each other.
