Everybody is correct and everybody is wrong.

According to Turabian's "A Manual for Writers", plurals of most single
and multiple capital letters used as nouns are formed by adding "s"
alone. Example: SWRs
Form the plural of small letters, capital letters with periods, and
capital letters that would be confusing if "s" alone were added by
adding apostrophe and "s".

Now, everybody, back to work and mind your p's and Qs

My question is: just what is/are "SWR's" and "SWRs"

As in words like, "amen", are pronounced "ah".

That certainly seems confusing to me and the confusion
is not apparent until more than halfway through the
sentence.

A's in words like, "amen", are pronounced "ah".

No confusion there.

Did you know that when Jesus prayed to God in
Aramaic, he probably prayed to "Allah"?

I doubt it. The word Allah appears to be a conglomeration of "al elah",
meaning "the god".

A well educated friend told me that the Aramaic word
for "God" is "Allah". It would be nice to know if
he was wrong about that.

Aren't Yahweh, Jehovah, and Allah all the same God-head?
