RE: The Plural of RPM

["Marci Bethel" <mhbethel -at- rmbeditorial -dot- com>]

You're correct. RPM is the accepted acronym for Revolutions (plural) per
Minute. 
(I've never seen it called out as Rotations per Minute.)

Subject: The Plural of RPM

I'm having a back-and-forth with an engineer about how to write more than
one RPM. She wants to write, "RPM's." <snip -- and shudder!>
I want to simply write RPM, meaning Rotations Per Minute.
