I've always thought that the plural of moose is meese. Just like the plural of goose is geese. Yet, some uneducated people use "moose" for one or several meese. I've even heard people from Minnesota make this mistake. Drives me up the wall. From Wiktionary: English Etymology Plural of moose, by analogy with goose → geese. Noun meese pl http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/meese

If it's on the internet it must be true. I would be more inclined to trust Merriam Webster: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/moose

The standard English plural of moose is moose. Or if you want to make up your own plural, go ahead. But please don't cite wiktionary as a reference, because it's just an internet version of inventing your own words. If you're concerned about an "educated" usage, then be aware that "moose" and "goose" have entirely different linguistic origins, so their plurals are not analogous. "Goose" derives from Old English, which in turn derives from Old High German, and thus has its plural from that language. "Moose" derives from Algonquin, an entirely different kind of language. If you look at any historical writings, you will find phrases that refer to "a herd of moose," but never "meese."

Here's the reason people don't use meese to refer to more than one moose: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Meese He really gave meese a bad name.

As I recall, when Mr. Jinx (the cat) said "I hate meeces to pieces", he was referring to Pixie (a mouse) and Dixie (a mouse), neither of which had antlers. Hope this clears up any confusion.

In Sweden, the animal that looks, to me, just like a moose is an "elg."

Sometimes 'meese' is used with a wink or a smile-as it is a pretty cute word- and really, an adult rubber nose needs all the cute factor it can find....
