can we do something about apostrophes?

i don't like having to type "cd's," "lp's," or "ep's..." can we stop abbreviating those terms? it's not much more work to type it out and you retain your dignity

fred is gonna have an aneurysm when he sees this

none of those should have apostrophe's in them IRARI.

I use "EPs"

the caps indicate said acronym and separates the s so the apostrophe is not needed

it stands for Innocently Relax And Respect Infinitely, the maxim that i try (and often fail) to live by

i dont' understand wha't iraris thread's about

My phone doesn't have an apostrophe and it drives me fucking insane because I'm a grammar Nazi.

agree with the premise of this thread. i rip my hair out very often these days. fishtank's method is acceptable.

it's.

i always want to pronounce "apostrophes" as "appo-strophes"

Compact Disc. Extended Play. Long Player.

What do any of these terms even mean any more, now that everything has gone digital?

"A collection of tracks assembled in the artist's stated order and compressed into Moving Picture Experts Group Layer-3 Audio format"

^^^^you really want me to type that every time? Can't I just say "record" to mean recorded artefact of sound?
