Hmmm. It’s a wonder that hooves isn’t a slightly archaic word now too. And that gooves never was in use instead of goofs, which could apply to booves, pooves, and wooves.
But, yeah broham, rooves is a valid, if archaic word in the king’s english. I’m kinda surprised that a Canadian wouldn’t have awareness of the differences in the three main branches of English having slightly different usages and spellings.
I mean, you have seen color and colour used before, right? Both are correct spellings. There’s stuff like learnt vs learned.
Even that’s ignoring major things where entirely different words are used like with boot vs trunk.
Ultimately I’d never use it. It’s archaic and not in common enough use generally to feel good to use. Similar to monkies as the archaic version of monkeys.
