I can't find the one I read last night, but here's another: http://tinyurl.com/qq5t
The more I search the web, the more it seems that there's just no single consensus on pluralizing initialisms. :|
For example, you said that the "CDs", for example, is proper and that "CD's" is a modern trend, but Wikipedia tells me it's exactly the opposite.
Should be good enough for Snit as he has used this source repeatedly to make claims of his own (and we all know Snit is no hypocrite;) You should expect an apology from him at any time. LOL!
What do you think I owe him an apology for?
I'm wondering too. You'd think they could at least learn from us how to engage in proper intellectual discourse.
In any case, it is clear Steve assumes any discussion where people do not immediately agree and actually show support for their positions is a discussion where there is animosity.
It explains why Steve never openly disagrees with Wally, Tim Adams, Sandman and the like - he is simply too afraid of conflict with his fellow trolls.
Then Steve wonders why I comment about their "group think". He just is not able to figure it out.
