Re: Friday Fun: What Pet Peeve makes you puke?

[Peter Sturgeon <prsturgeon -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

My boss is quite fond of the pluralizing apostrophes, mainly for abbreviations.
 
"The following SOP's are ready for review."  I see that every day.
 
Haven't confronted the issue, just edit it whenever I forward or reply.
 
I see Tapes and "DVD's" in lots of video outlet windows.
 
Neither example is puke-worthy, however. Prefer to hate the sin but love the sinner.
