Nope, you are totally wrong. Maybe if you used grammar and at least ATTEMPTED correct spelling, people would take you more seriously; wouldn’t make you any less wrong though. Nice try.
No, he’s right. the plural form of any letter, number, abbreviation, or symbol always ends in apostrohe ’s’. For example, the plural of 3 would not be “3s”, but, rather, “3’s”. It’s a wierd grammar rule…
Correct. It is indeed not Rs and Hs as that implies not multiple letters but a complete word. It must be R’s and H’s to indicate multiples.
It is a weird grammar rule similar to its/it’s where “its” is the only possessive form or a word that doesn’t contain an apostrophe and “it’s” is the contraction and not possessive.
Reply to myself to clarify. The reason it can’t be Rs and Hs is simple. What about the letter A? “As” does not show multiples, it is simply read “as”. Having it read “as” makes the sentence barely readable.
Actually, the apostrophe is only for pluralizing lowercase letters, to keep them from being confused with 2-letter words such as is and as. To pluralize capital letters or numbers, you do not use an apostrophe. Cloral was correct.
You ignore basic grammar facts in your supposed witty comment. Jordan is correct. You are incorrect in saying that he meant that apostrophes were used to show multiples in all words.
What’s funny is you thought you were being “that person” who corrects incorrect grammar, but it turns out you were “that person” who incorrectly corrects correct grammar.

I sometimes get teased at work for the size of my calves when I wear shorts. I have always played soccer, so I always have had strong legs.

I can’t believe it’s been almost 14 years since the Farewell concert(s) — I was at both of the Universal Amphitheatre shows. Ahhh – good times.
I got on a bus last year with a tin of paint. The driver ordered me off. He said their rules are that paint is flammable, “if it spills it might catch fire”.
No, really. When I was a kid the local tour bus operators ran day trips to the godforsaken bits of the country they could reach in a couple of hours’ drive. And the mystery tour was inexplicably popular among the more adventurous non-car-owners, including my parents. God, we were poor. But the mystery tour always seemed to end up in Skegness, presumably because nobody would willingly sign up if they knew where they were going. If you don’t know where or what Skegness is, be grateful…

It’s meant to be Diarrhea. They’ve hidden the r’s and h’s and made it an anagram though. Shame.
They’d need another A for that.
BTW, not to be that person, but it would be Rs and Hs, not r’s and h’s. The apostrophe implies ownership.
So R isn’t allowed to own itself? Sounds too much like communism for my liking.
And there’s a pointless N if it is Diarrhoea. Yes, there’s an O.

Why are you pushing the bus?
Oh, right. Because it ran out of ideas. Nevermind.

How busdrivers have fun with passengers
This, and a light groping.
Or shutting the doors in your face! In
Soviet Russiathe UK, bus drivers hate YOU.I think that one is universal. You should see/meet the bus drivers in Chicago!
I wouldn’t know. I must admit I haven’t ridden a bus in about 10 years. I do ride the lightrail every now and then, though!
London buses are horrendous. There was a case where an elderly man couldn’t board a bus because he had a can of paint. Bizarre.
The drivers seriously need lessons. Whenever I stand in a bus, I feel like I’m aboard the Poseidon. And not in the good way.
What was the good way?!
Being aboard a luxury cruise ship with all the trimmings. The bad way is being tossed this way and that, and feeling seasick.
The party did look sort of nice, before everyone drowned.
What a Titanic summation.
Leave it to the living to allow a little death to ruin an otherwise perfectly good party.

Halloween is my birthday & Boingo is my favorite band. I used to go see them at Irvine Meadows Amphitheater at least twice every Halloween season.
*sniff*
I miss them. Apparently there’s no reunion in the cards because Danny Elfman’s hearing was damaged by all his years of performing.
Don’t remind me. Vatos spent a few years getting the rest of the band back together to do a Halloween show (some kid up front … what was his name again … BT4 (whatever that means). I miss those now too.
*might have to throw the farewell show on again this weekend*
Awwww. *squeeze*
But it’s very cool that you got to see them before!
I forgot … clickie!! clickie!!
Good thing Vatos has had a successful music career — because he can’t write. *twitch* I followed a link from that site to Oingo Boingo’s official website which has some very interesting info (interesting if you’re a big fan, anyway).
I can’t believe it’s been almost 14 years since the Farewell concert(s) — I was at both of the Universal Amphitheatre shows. Ahhh – good times.
*is jealous*
I got on a bus last year with a tin of paint. The driver ordered me off. He said their rules are that paint is flammable, “if it spills it might catch fire”.
Silly bus driver!
Well, sure!
…or they try to clean it up with blow torch.
Or Ghost Rider tries to reduce his carbon footprint and take the bus.
Or DW sneezes unexpectedly, after smelling the fumes.
It’s a mystery tour.

No, really. When I was a kid the local tour bus operators ran day trips to the godforsaken bits of the country they could reach in a couple of hours’ drive. And the mystery tour was inexplicably popular among the more adventurous non-car-owners, including my parents. God, we were poor. But the mystery tour always seemed to end up in Skegness, presumably because nobody would willingly sign up if they knew where they were going. If you don’t know where or what Skegness is, be grateful…

Deb: Are they still letting you run for president?
Pedro: Yes. I don’t understand… they say you’re not allowed to have pinatas that look like real people, but in Mexico, we do it all the time.
Napoleon: It’s pretty much my favorite animal. It’s like a lion and a tiger mixed… bred for its skills in magic.
I have met, petted and taken pictures with this Liger. He’s even more impressive in real life. One of the coolest experiences in my life.
Napoleon: GOSH!

Without even playing this clip I feel that this is an excellent first step toward becoming liger droppings.

I wouldn’t be too scared of those things, If you just think back to what I did over the summer.

I’d throw oranges at them, of course.
