Default So is...???
"Hoppes" pronounced "hops" or "hoppy's"??

I've always said it "hops" as I went to school with a guy named Hoppes pronounced "Hops"

Today I heard it referred to as "Hoppy's"

What say you?

I've always pronounced it Hops.

Call it anything you want. Just don't call it late for dinner
