Thread Name: BS: Apostrophe Question???
Subject: RE: BS: Apostrophe Question???
This is horse pucky. First, BWL has the correct answer in traditional grammar. Second, the use of an apostrophe in forming plurals as in "two b's on all his CD's" is allowable English, neither strictly adherent to prescribed grammar nor strictly in violation of it, by reason of increased usage. Grammarians may not like it but their subject includes the grey line of popular advance in which usage defines correctitude.
