The expression is "jump through hoops". Sorry to nitpick.

  Hoopes (yes, a misspelling) gets autocorrected to hooves for me, so could’ve been a typo and not that they didn’t know the expression.

    Probably because the word is "hoops", without the "e"; the plural of "hoop". ^ Not meant as sarcasm, just noting the possible reason the spellchecker gets confused.

      Right, but if you notice, the e and the s are adjoining keys on most common keyboards. Apologies if my wording was confusing, but I didn’t call out the es as the OP misspelling the pluralization, but rather specifically as a typo. My mention of misspelling was there only to prevent another person from pointing it out, but alas, I still failed it seems.
