As Margaret Shertzer wrote in her book, The Elements of Grammar, "Most

Webster agreed in their New Collegiate dictionary with "The plural
form of a noun ending in a consonant and "o" is -oes: hero, heroes."


OK - I had to run this morning and didn't have time to look up the

Webster's New World College Dictionary, Fourth Edition. 2000. p.
1549: "Typo" n., pl. "pos"...

Now pay up!

Damn those revisionist historians! I'm still 2:1 on ya, so it's

Now pay up!
