  • Both roofs and rooves are listed as plurals in the Oxford Dictionary of English, 2005 edition, though there seems to be differences in usage between Britain and America.
  • In referring to the top of a building, it can refer both to the object itself (“the roof was blown off in the tornado”) and to the location of being on the roof (“it can be dangerous to go up to the roof to fix the antenna”). In the latter sense (of location), it is often used attributively, largely interchangeably with rooftop.
