Plurals

  • Don't use apostrophes to form plurals of proper nouns, acronyms, and numerals. For example, the plural of FAQ is FAQs, not FAQ's.
  • Don't pluralize single letters, symbols, or mathematical signs by adding an apostrophe and an s.
    • Incorrect: Salesforce replaces unrecognizable characters with @’s.
    • Correct: Salesforce replaces unrecognizable characters with the at (@) sign.
  • To form the plural of a numeral, add s but no apostrophe: Type three 2s.
  • In abbreviations for measurements, don't add an s to indicate plurality. For example: 10 oz or 30 mm.
