The SWR with the apostrophe s is a grammatical error. The apostrophe s
indicates that the SWR is possessive, that the SWR owns something; or,
that the SWR is doing something. The apostrophe s is not plural!!

On the contrary, the plural of the letter A is A's. The plural
of the number 3 is 3's. It's not too much of a stretch to assume
that the plural of SWR is SWR's.

From Webster's: "apostrophe - a make used to indicate ... the
plural of letters or figures."

Well, Webster shows more than one error, at least insofar as formal English
goes. What Webster depicts is the "dumbing down" of what our kids are being
taught today.
Do what you wish, but those who are better educated will continue to use the
apostrophe to denote the possessive rather than the plural.
