There is some confusion as to the correct plural form of words ending in ‘f’.
Some plural forms are changing with time so plurals such as ‘hoofs’ and ‘hooves’ and ‘scarfs’ and ‘scarves’ are
becoming increasingly interchangable, but words ending in ‘ff’ are never changed to ‘v’, for example ‘cliffs’ and ‘cuffs’.
