Isn't that covered with the "then do this" suggestion? Sareitha Sedai Send a noteboard - 25/08/2010 08:17:38 PM
That's confusing me though, because it looks like they are suggesting using the apostrophe to pluralize numbers/abbreviations (since they call it an exception to the rule), but then it tells you how to do it and leaves them out...

Or do you mean the '90s apostrophe?

If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.

The 90's one? - 25/08/2010 09:00:48 PM 370 Views
I just didn't know if you meant the one in 90's (see commentary) or the one in '90s. - 25/08/2010 09:08:27 PM 428 Views
