-i parameter to mv command alias in .bashrc is ignored

Question

The title basically says it all. My .bashrc looks like this:

alias ls="clear ; ls -l --color --group-directories-first"

alias rm="rm -i"
alias mv="mv -i"

The -i parameter for the rm command works just fine.

I'm using the latest (as of yesterday) Linux Mint (Rebecca), 32-bit, Cinnamon, running in VMWare 10 on a Windows Vista Dell XPS 420 etc etc ask me if you need more info about all that.

Answer 1

So, Cyrus posted the correct answer in a comment, but not as an answers, so I'll post it here so the question can be closed. -i only prompts if a file is about to get overwritten. In other cases there's no need to prompt. Thanks, Cyrus!
