This is why arguments over English involving Americans never really get anywhere. There are many subtleties in the language. Yankees simply do not understand this concept.
That ain't cuttin' it, Mr. Bowmann. (You see, we Yanks aren't the only ones who don't "get it"... Brits are as guilty as we are.)
I fail to see how any supposed "subtleties" of "the apostrophe becomes acceptable" "since typo is an abbreviation" makes your case.
As I said in my reply, abbreviations do NOT automatically take the "apostrophe-s" as their plural. That is my point, and it's not subtle.
C'mon... you are at the very least incorrect. The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.
