When I typed "howto" in Alta Vista, I was assailed with :
|
|
" Spell check: Did you mean how-to? " :-)
|
|
|
|
Oh well, I guess it is properly considered a compound noun. Of course,
|
|
virtually all the search results are linux-related "HOWTOs" or
|
|
"HOWTO's." There is a " FreeBSD Security How-To" (
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.freebsd.org/~jkb/howto.html">http://www.freebsd.org/~jkb/howto.html</A>).

One Potato, Two Potato:

Words that end in O

O for a simple solution to this one!
|
|
|
|
* Most form their plurals by adding s : Romeos who wear tattoos and
|
|
invite bimbos to their studios to see their portfolios are likely to be
|
|
gigolos.
|
|
|
|
* A small number of words that end in o form their plurals by adding es.
|
|
Some of the most common are in this example: The heroes saved the
|
|
cargoes of tomatoes and potatoes from the mosquitoes and tornadoes by
|
|
hiding them in grottoes.
|
|
|
|
If you are unsure about the plural of an o word, look it up in the
|
|
dictionary.

( Remember Dan Quayle ?)
|
|
|
|
"HOWTO" is not in my dictionary :-(
|
|
|
|
Because "HOWTO" is not an abbreviation, I believe we may agree that
|
|
"HOWTOs" is correct.

Ah, saturday night diversions. Sorry.
