And the Plural Is----------?

[Wilma]

The plural of mouse is mice.
The plural of house is houses.
So, would the plural of titmouse be titmice?
Or do you think it should be titmouses?

I have been watching about half a dozen of the above mentioned at my bird feeder and I don't know what to call them.  I know what to call it, but not them.

The Wiktionnary says titmice.

Plural of goose is geese but the plural of moose is... moose.

That one always bothers me.

Would one suppose that the plural of caboose is cabeese?

Well then, if the plural of foot is feet, then the plural of boot must be_______and if the plural of mouse is mice, then the plural of house must be________ And if the plural of tooth is teeth, then the plural of booth must be______

If you follow the rule of attorneys general, then it would be titties-mice.
But then hard breathing would ensue and this forum already has enough of that. LOL
