cheerleaders' - the apostrophe is after the pluralizing "s"
Pluralizing nouns in English generally follows a few key rules. The most common method is adding "s" to the end of a noun (e.g., cat → cats). If a noun ends in "s," "x," "z," "ch," or "sh," you typically add "es" (e.g., box → boxes). For nouns ending in a consonant followed by "y," you change the "y" to "i" and add "es" (e.g., baby → babies), while for those ending in a vowel followed by "y," you simply add "s" (e.g., toy → toys). Additionally, some nouns have irregular plural forms (e.g., mouse → mice), which need to be memorized.
No, the word "sees" does not require an apostrophe. The apostrophe is used to show possession or omission of letters, not for pluralizing verbs.
No, the word "women" is not irregular. It follows the typical pattern of pluralizing nouns ending in "-man" by changing the ending to "-men."
The plural of "vendor" is "vendors." It is formed by simply adding an "s" to the end of the word, which is standard for pluralizing most nouns in English.
The plural word for "ignoramus" is "ignoramuses".You might expect it to be "ignorami" because the word originates in Latin, but "ignoramus" is not a noun: it is a verb. So instead of using the Latin rule for pluralizing nouns, we simply use the English rule for pluralizing words that end with an "s".Thus, "ignoramus" becomes "ignoramuses".

And a few words, like hobo, can take either form. Potatoes and tomatoes probably became -es words long ago by analogy with the word toes. Words like photos and pros are abbreviations, and words like solos and studios and folios are foreign.
The plural form of "watch" is "watches." This is formed by adding the suffix "-es" to the end of the word, which is a common rule for pluralizing nouns that end in a consonant followed by "ch."
The correct plural form of the word "torpedo" is "torpedoes." This follows the standard English rule for pluralizing nouns that end in "-o," where an "-es" is added to the end.
