It's spelled NOES, not NOS, Sin.

If you are talking about the plural of “no”, many words ending in “O” can be pluralised with an “es” or “s” ending, although one may be more accepted over the other.

Volcanos = Volcanoes
Dominos = Dominoes
Zeros = Zeroes

Therefore, although I have such an urge to side against Sintekk (

), I must say that I think both spellings are correct!

EDIT: Who’s to say what the corect speling of a word is anyweigh?

Merriam-Webster says both are okay.

I personally prefer “es” endings, and that does seem to be (at least in America) more accepted in this case.

Words used to be pluralized by adding -en, but the only ones that have survived that way are:
child . . . children
ox . . . oxen
and (not used as often) brother . . . brethren
