There's no need for it, especially when the initials are capitalized anyway.apostrophismhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16505610684254280133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14814104.post-18971947013025462472007-09-25T09:53:00.000-07:002007-09-25T09:53:00.000-07:002007-09-25T09:53:00.000-07:00The second example - "I.D.'s" - actually isn't an abbreviation issue. Abbreviations and initialisms that end in a period should use 's to form the plural. Writing I.D. instead of ID is a bit questionable, but I don't think there is a clear rule on this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14814104.post-49462013852061777162007-09-25T01:08:00.000-07:002007-09-25T01:08:00.000-07:002007-09-25T01:08:00.000-07:00Maybe the restaurant owner's name is Taco? :)goulohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03390210849239360669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14814104.post-26192688471598260442007-09-24T17:23:00.000-07:002007-09-24T17:23:00.000-07:002007-09-24T17:23:00.000-07:00Regarding the Salinas sign: don't neon signmakers charge by the character? You'd think the signmaker would have brought the error to the attention of the restaurant owner at the time the sign was ordered, to save money and spare the embarrassment. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
