Cyber Weirdoes Strike: Episode 3

How exactly does one spell the plural of “weirdo”? This is a matter of hot debate within my tiny mind, so I consulted my many grammar books. The good news is, no one knows. One school of thought (and the one I think looks best) says a writer should add “e” as in “do” becoming “does”, though of course “does” is not actually a plural but a past tense of the verb “do” and “weirdo” is a noun.
