Plural of nouns like PDAs...

Post by Aikuzo »

What is the plural form of those types of nouns?

Like, can I just say:
- "Most PDA's are bluetooth enabled."

Aikuzo,

This is the correct way to do it. When creating the plural form of an acronym, it is best to use the “’s” at the end of the acronym as you have done here. Sometimes just adding the lowercase “s” is done, but using the form with the apostrophe is clearer.
