| justin2313:07 UTC06 Jun 2007 | Yes but you said you bought your fifth mouse which is correct.
If you say "I went and bought five mouses" thats wrong its "I bought five mice".
"I went and bought my fifth mouse" is correct and referrng to the fact its the 5th mouse you've bought.
"I went and bought five mice" is correct but means you bought 5 mice at once.
