Talk:Fear of mice

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Title &c.

Just in case someone starts wondering: ["fear of mice" -musophobia] gives 18,000 hits; while "murophobia" is a propagated typo, "mysophobia" is fear of dirt, and "suriphobia" is not registered by serious dictionaries yet (and by the way, what the heck does it mean? "Rat" is rattus. Or it is Greek for mouse?). `'mikka (t) 07:02, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

I think the title should be musophobia. It looks neater. It's also the technical term... and this is an encyclopedia. riana 05:54, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

The title should be the most used one. And until a real doctor comes here and tells me that it is a widely used "technical term", I will not take it for granted. `'mikka (t) 06:35, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
