Apostrophes
Posted on Tuesday, June 23, 2009 in Punctuation
One final pet peeve concerning apostrophes incorrectly used with plurals.
Almost all plurals that are not possessives do not use apostrophes.
Use PCs, not PC’s.
Use TVs, not TV’s.
Use tacos, not taco’s.
Use hundreds, not hundred’s.
Use pizzas, not pizza’s.
Use “Way to go, Vikings!” not “Way to go, Viking’s!”
Exceptions are the plurals of letters and numbers.
There are two s’s in that word.
She dots all her i’s and crosses all her t’s.
My son can say his 1′s, 2′s, and 3′s in five different languages.
Three posts are more than enough to spend on these misused apostrophes and might even cause you to join this group:

Lets discard the apostrophe. Its pointless.
