Supposed misspelling

[edit]

I just axed a sentence that that had been in the article since 2011 which claimed that "Volcanos" is not a proper plural... because it's not true. Merriam-Webster says both forms of plural are acceptable; Cambridge agrees. Google ngrsm shows that while -os is currently not that common, it was the more common version in the 18th century and still common in the 19th. So arguably it's an archaic plural, but it's not wrong, and we should not have an unsourced comment claiming otherwise. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 02:10, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
