Usage notes
[redakti]- The usual plural of (en|moose) is (en|moose); compare the names of many animals, such as (en|deer) and (en|fish), which are also invariant. Other plurals are rare and nonstandard: (en|mooses) (with the usual English plural-forming suffix (en|-s)), (en|meese) (jocularly formed by analogy to (en|goose) → (en|geese)).[3]
