An American trying to teach an Englishman English... 😵
Regardless, I am correct, and you are wrong. C'mon, admit it... it won't hurt... much.
And, btw, if you need a refresher on Plurals of Abbreviations, I refer you to:

Originally posted by BowmannSpelling may be different in England, but grammar is still grammer, and we Americans are far better educated than Bowmann. At least I know I am. But the difference is that we don't care about grammar unless it counts for a job, money, or a high school or college paper. So get off of it. I used to treat the forum like text messaging, say it in the shortest way possible. example - (Cya all L8er) or (wanna go be4 halftime) but then the grammar freaks started correcting me, so now i take the extra time and type it all out. I guess thats what happens when you are dealing with an Englishman (no offense meant to anyone except Bowmann 😛

I think you meant "Bowmann's my hero" (if you are going for the sarcastic, or the ironic), or more probably, you meant "Bowman's my hero", since I can't imagine why anyone would choose a major league ass as their hero. 😛
And before I get the same amount of bitching normally reserved for Mr. Bowmann, I'm just trying to stay in the spirit of the thread. 😀
