Apostrophes
- In 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
- In Possessives
- To form the possessive case of singular nouns, including proper nouns ending in an s or z sound, use an apostrophe followed by an s.
- To form the possessive of plural nouns, add an apostrophe only.
- Don't use an apostrophe in these possessive pronouns: his, hers, its, ours, yours, theirs, and whose.
