The use of the apostrophe to indicate a plural made with numbers (70's) is well established and is cvere din the Chicago Manual of Style. There is nothing improper about it. The use of datums as a plural of datum is becoming acceptable in technical circles where a datum has specialized meaning, notably in map making and geographical information systems. Wanderer
