You don't use apostophe's to plauralise anything.

I just noticed the name of the forum "120 RF's" I think that should be "120 RFs" If acronyms took contracting apostrophes then the singular would be RF' but it's not it's just RF.

Approved by the Apostrophes Master of the Universe. Carry on.

Noted. Thanks. And as Peter said: Carry on.

I'm so glad you remembered the capitalisation following a colon; well done

I thought apostrophes were used to pluralize lowercase letters and abbreviations containing internal punctuation or abbreviations ending with the letter S:

He holds two Ph.D.'s.l
Three x's in a row wins.
They sent SOS's over three frequencies.

No?

My understanding too.

Nope. Possessive or contraction.

plauralise? That's a word?

RF doesn't end with S.

My camera's dont care.

 

[gb hill]

I pretty much flunked anything to do with the english language so I never noticed.😉

 

[f16sunshine]

My colon just coughed up an apostrophe...

 

[semilog]

Thats excellent; thank's for clearing it up for us.

 

[FrankS]

For me, it improves readability, to place an apostrophe between an acronym and a suffix.

 

[Roger Hicks]

What about greengrocer's (and everything they sell, such as carrot's, onion's)? It's known in English as the Greengrocers' Apostrophe.

Cheers,

I believe the apostrophe is correct in RF's because as blindrobert said, it's an abbreviation, and the apostrophe stands for the missing letters in rangefinders.

If I started worrying about grammer on the interwebs, I'd probably need to start some sort of blood pressure medication regimen.
