It won't be easy to Buck that trend.
Sounds like a load of Bullwinkle to me.

BJM: Hey Rocky! Watch me pull several mouse devices out of my hat RJS: But that trick never works, without a collective noun! BJM: This time for sure. Presto! RJS: Just looks like a herd of mouses to me. BJM: Hmm. I've never heard of mouses before?
So we now need a collective noun for mouse devices. (Perhaps a Mouse De-Vice Squad?)
Meeses still gets my vote.
Cheers,
Micky G.
Of course the plural of "moose" is "moose", just as the plural of "deer" is "deer".
