The Magic-O Guideline
Tomato / tomatos; hero / heros; allegro / allegros; piano / pianos. No need to be bamboozled by which o-nouns are made plural with “s” and which use “es”. Simplify your writing life: adopt The Anarchist's Magic-O Guideline. Just...say...“os”. I've never met an o-noun that loses its identity with this guideline.

You gotta be kidding!!! I keep a list handy of which is which - o-words that take an "e" and o-words that don't. My college professors will flip out!!!!!
Tell your prof to "chill", and talk to me. I'll straighten out the poor befuddled instructor.
I learned that musical nouns ending in o do not use an e, but a bunch of other ones do.
