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 73 |

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. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |
