Thread Name: hobos or hoboes?
Subject: RE: hobos or hoboes?
When I was at school I was taught: 'Negroes would be heroes to play banjoes with potatoes and dominoes with cargoes of tomatoes'.

They are the only -o ending words which add -es in the plural. All others just add -s.

So it's hobos for me.
