http://www.apostrophe.fsnet.co.uk/ ----- Apostrophes are NEVER ever used to denote plurals! Common examples of such abuse (all seen in real life!) are: Banana's for sale which of course should read Bananas for sale Menu's printed to order which should read Menus printed to order etc.

I looked it up just now. Strictly speaking, you only use an apostrophe when the initialism has internal punctuation, for example Ph.D.'s.

I commend you for admitting to your error. Many in CSMA are not willing to do so.

And notice how he was able to accept his error without attacking anyone else in the process!

The very least you should do is retract your previous unwarranted attack on his honesty! But will you?
