A comment on Grammarly's page on facebook:

Actually it IS CEO's, because when you make the plural of an abbreviation, you DO use an apostrophe. Hence, the plural of photo is photo's, because the full word is photograph. This may be what started the confusion in the first place.

Yah, but that's an old rule:


"623 Capital letters & abbreviations ending with capital letters are pluralized by adding s alone.
...


"NOTE: Some authorities still sanction the use of an apostrophe before the s (for example, four C's, PTA's), However, the apostrophe is functionally unnecessary except where confusion might otherwise result.


"three A's
too many I's
two U's on his report card"


From Gregg Reference Manual, Sixth Edition, c1985, McGraw-Hill,
by William A. Sabin (Author)


As long as the meaning is clear, I omit the apostrophe. (I looked @ photo in my dictionary, it only shows photos as the plural. Random House Webster's College Dict., c1997)

Sol Invictus? Does that mean that the baby wearing those pants is undefeatable?
