I'm sorry, I know this is off topic, and I don't want to hijack your thread, but...
Is there an area of the country where public schools teach students to "pluralize" numbers and acronyms using an apostrophe? This has always been a common error in the engineering community, but lately, it seems to be morphing into a general trend. So, can I ask where you learned this? I'm wondering in all seriousness what the source might be.
