plurals of words ending with 'o'.

Oes on the first three but just an ‘s’ on chorizo (as it’s a Spanish word)

Avocados is the plural of avocado.
Tomatoes
Potatoes
Chorizos

Try typing anything you are unsure of, the plural usually shows on your predictive text

It is illogically isn't it? Older words like potato and tomato become potatoes and tomatoes, perhaps because we pronounce the o at the end of them as o, If we just added s they should be pronouced as potatus or potataws. Choriszo should alway have the closed o, as Spanish rarely uses the open o.

And saying this makes nonsens of advocados, which most of us call advocadoes when we say the word!

I certainly don’t say advocado as the word is avocado

Known as avos in Australia 🙂

Avo Ale, Avo cake

Or: I'm having Avo cake this arvo

thanks . Do you remember the song - "I say potatos, you say potatahtos"

Avocados are Zabocas in the Caribbean.

Surely every word ending with a vowel needs an apostrophe before the s…? (Sorry)

No, the apostrophe means possesssion.

Tomato, Tomatoes, the tomato's flavour (flavour of the tomato)

Avos are cheap just now so we are using them instead of butter for lunch rolls.

Oh please M0nica - it was a joke!!

I have a friend who calls them advocados! She’s so nice I haven’t the heart to correct her.

My Jamaican grandmother said they called them poor man's butter. They grow on massive trees all over the island.

She called them avocados. Must have been from the wrong part of the Caribbean...

Could be a fiasco!

As this is pendants' corner, I suppose we might like to consider tomato's as signifying a missing letter M0nica 😂👍

So cheap that farmers are having to dump some, there must be a glut.
I have a recipe for avocado cake

Please ship some over here 🙂

Avocado AKA alligator pear!

It is a very important weaning food in the Caribbean and yes, as mentioned above is referred to as poor man’s butter.
I had a tree in my garden. The fruit was about the size of a large grapefruit (if you squeezed it into a pear shape) but other varieties are closer in size to a medium butternut squash. In other words HUGE.
Slice thinly and layer over toast, squeeze lemon or lime juice over it, sprinkle with garlic salt and ground black pepper, cover with snipped spring onions or red onion then top with poached egg. A breakfast for kings.
