The 2006 edition of the Chambers Dictionary gives the plural of roof as roofs. It does not even mention any alternative plural.
However, as I said on another thread, if enough people keep getting it wrong (rooves) then in time it will become right. Country's gone to pot. |  | | |

Houses have rooves, horses have hooves.
End of.
A shame that Chambers didn't contact me first before publishing this blatant falsehood. But that is the world of today, I suppose. | |
