RE: A flexible rule

"300B, 12AX7A, 6V6GTA, and so on. "

So, if someone tells you they just bought two 300Bs, four 12AX7s and four 6V6GTAs, you would be confused? What if I said that a poker player's hand contains 3s and 5s? One of the best English language references I've seen over the last 30-odd years uses that specific example to explain where the apostrophe is not warranted. OTOH, I remember seeing something you wrote in which the term "Maggies" (speakers, plural) was written "Maggie's." It was that particular non-standard usage that prompted me to ask the question.
