no No in the plural is spelled noes. Example is, The "noes" have it! Where a noun ends in a vowel, "o", the standard rule to make it plural is to add "es". This has been true since the 1600's. For example, You would spell "potatoes" not potato's to show the plural usage. (Please leave room to forgive green-market folk).

Numerical usage ending in "o" does seem to vary from the rule. It does beat the rule. But, my answer is that it does have strength through frequency of use. Numerical position, like the 1600's or 1900's has been widely accepted for many centuries. You may want to argue with that. Okay! I do not want to take the challenge nor the fun out of it for you. It's frequency and tenure does gives it strength. So, using the apostrophe is accepted when showing numerical position through wide acceptance through the years.

Strong structure is good for the most part. We have short cutted so many things like u for you and omg for oh my god and 4 for four or for. Time-structure issues may need a small bit of fine tuning. In life, as often, fine-tuning may make things better. Sometimes the pendulum does not swing so widely. It swings gently in the middle. When you fine tune a car, you do not do so at 1500 rpm's. About 650 to 750 rpm's is much better. Racing enthusiasts, please.

In the English language, yes, there are some hard structures. This is good. It shows that you are educated when you know to use them. And yes, using "es" in the plural use for no is one of these. Correct spelling for no in the plural is noes. It does not have an apostrophe. It is a good rule. Please apply it when using the plural of no.
