Yes, yes the Anglicisms.
Yesterday I talked with a colleague, the topic came up PC Mouse.
The question is once again come up: What actually is the plural of computer mouse?
Do you know it?
Usually you try so happy to avoid the majority of computer mouse, as I have done something earlier.
But that may now not be the solution.
But let's start from the beginning and indeed how to spell.
How is the computer mouse written? Together, apart, with or without a hyphen?
In English, it's simple: two words and without a hyphen, but in German?
Or is it perhaps not but Mouse Mouse?
If you look at Google for, searching for the right key on the PC Mouse is in German speaking not the mouse button but the "Right Mouse Button" most widespread.
Even if Wikipedia is not of Mouse but of mouse spoken.
And then of course there's the question of the majority.
In the above Wikipedia article is spoken of mice.
Ok, I say sometimes, but actually more than belittlement.
And what does the English Wikipedia?
There are both computer mice and computer mouses considered valid terms, which as a technically skilled computer mouses is considered.
But to be honest: you say about that you have two computer or Mice has two computer mouses?
For me somehow everything sounds strange and really smart, I am not well.
I will probably continue in the parlance cute sounding computer mice - just always use version and when writing the singular Computer Mouse.
This is not consistent, but when speaking you do not hear fortunately the spelling out.
And Wasa is with you?
