Hi folks, this is for English native speakers (British English, American English and colonial English alike).
I was looking up something in my Oxford dictionary. First, I had to make sure how they indicate irregular plurals. The first word that came to mind was mouse. Look what they write there apart from 1. the animal and 2. a timid person: 3. (plural mouses) a small hand-held device for controlling a cursor on a VDU screen. I have never seen anyone (except non-native speakers by mistake) use mouses as the plural for a computer mouse. Are the people of the Oxford dictionary nuts, or is this really correct and mice wrong in this case?
