Sausagee? Surely in the interests of consistency it should be "sausagepee"?

I'm inclined to agree with Foot's Sausagee works for me.

So let it be.

What's the correct word for when you have more than one mouse?
User avatar

Ahh there we have anew rule. The plural of mouse is Meeces. Until a better suggestion can be found and claimed as my own.

No it's always been meesis. Ever since I was little. Same as Moose is Mooses. That's not the biblical character either.

Nope, Meeses it is. Same with hefalumps. There is no other term for them. Dromederies will be abolished and only camels will be allowed.

Surely if the plural of Mouse is Mice, then the singular of Rice would be Rouse?

Not Shirley. Andy.
And that point is further proven by lice and louse, yes? By the by, El Presidente, it's heffalumps.

Correct spelling will be abolished too! Cheers on the nod of recognition though - consider yourself Diplomatic agent responsible for America - well the south bit anyway, I've got plans for the north.....

I'm honored. However, I'm quite specific in my desires. Can I pick and choose which states? I'd hate to be responsible for the south eastern portion. They talk funny. I'd like California, New York and the whole northeastern shoreline plus Wyoming and Hawaii. Nothing else except for maybe the U.S. Virgin Islands. Those look lovely.

Mice.

Surely.

No point in this getting silly!


I honestly think this has gone beyond silly already!

I rest my case

Didn't it start off beyond silly/moronic?

Why is that silly?

Why should sheep get a whole rule unto themselves. And fish. Except religious fish which are called fishes.

The singular of fish is now "fi". Fi rhymes with 'the', not 'pie'.

Were that to be true (and actually I can't believe I'm getting involved in this discussion), surely if it rhymed with "the", it would be spelt "fe"?

But then we would need the plural to be 'fesh'.

Your call...

Nope. As I said I've got plans for the north....don't worry about the funny accents, that's getting changed too. Elocution lessons for all and re-education centres for disenters.
