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." To take the argument well into absurdity (as if it needed any help), we can discuss whether your Webster's is descriptive or prescriptive. |
