Because "Meese" or "Meeses" is the plural for "Mouse"
** "I hates meeses to pieces," from Jinx the Cat on Pixie and Dixie cartoons
"Moosies" is the plural of "Moose"
Just found this but the link won't open
"The Twa Moosies (a Scottish tale) as told to Leslie Slape Now in Scotland, a house is called a hoosie, and a mouse is called a moosie..."
So, apparently, "Moosies" has a cross-cultural double meaning.
;-D

English is a derivative from a lot of languages.
Goose comes from Middle English goos, from Old English gōs.
Now moose comes from the Eastern Abenaki US Indian tribe word : mos
So the plurals depend on how the original language handles the plural.

Hi there the plural of moose (more than one) is also the word moose. Another example is deer. Our language has many origins for words and I guess that's why we have so many exceptions. Have a great year.

the respond to your question is the comparable by way of fact the single to: why is greater desirable than one fox foxes and greater desirable than one ox oxen. by way of fact it extremely is the English language, which has such fairly some distinctive roots - 2 significant, yet borrowing from another languages it encounters. Snow is white by way of fact it extremely is ice and reflects gentle. while it melts, it does not mirror interior the comparable way.
