Message: [QUOTE="Lew, post: 4201596"] But not "K" or "T". <[URL]http://ethnicity.rutgers.edu/~jlynch/Writing/p.html#plural[/URL]> "Resist the urge to put an apostrophe before the s in a plural, whether in common or proper nouns. The term for this vulgar error is the “greengrocer's apostrophe,” ..." <[URL]http://ethnicity.rutgers.edu/~jlynch/Writing/a.html#apostrophe[/URL]> "My preference: don't use apostrophes to make abbreviations plural — not “They took their SAT's,” but “They took their SATs.” The only exception is when having no apostrophe might be confusing: “Two As” is ambiguous (it might be read as the word as); make it “Two A's.”" Refer to his citations and C.V. for transitive authority.
