Where the word “Mouse” came from
From Wikipedia:
"There is a fake etymology of the word mouse, which some claim is an acronym for ‘Manually Operated User Selection Equipment’, but the device’s name came from its resemblance to a mouse and was established very early on."
The first known publication of the word "mouse" is in Bill English’s 1965 publication "Computer-Aided Display Control"[35]
The Compact Oxford English Dictionary (third edition) and the fourth edition of The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language endorse both computer mice and computer mouses as correct plural forms for computer mouse. The form mice, however, appears most commonly, while some authors of technical documents may prefer either mouse devices or the more generic pointing devices. The plural mouses treats mouse as a "headless noun."
