General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters | | English term or phrase: leafs or leaves | what is the correct spelling??
-humus: organic matter made of leaves (?), straw and decomposed manure. |
| | | Not so simple as it looks! | Explanation:
As others have observed, the plural is "leaves", and that reflects the pronunciation. However the plural of "hoof" is usually "hoofs" and of "roof" is always "roofs". I certainly say "hooves" and my pronunciation of the other word hovers between "roofs" and "rooves". |
