Quote:I'D ARGUE THAT YOU NEED TO USE AN APOSTROPHE IN THIS INSTANCE, SINCE THE CAPITAL LETTERS OBSCURE THE MEANING AND MAKE IT READ AS THE WORD "IS" RATHER THAN AS THE PLURAL OF "I." BUT I DON'T THINK PUNCTUATION RULES HAVE YET TO EVOLVE TO INTERNET SPEAK, SO PERHAPS I'M ALONE IN THIS CRUSADE.
Actually, I learnt from my English grammar textbook in school that the plural of a letter, figure, symbol or acronym *should* be formed using an apostrophe. So I believe Bit Buster is correct and to leave out the apostrophe would be -----> *WRONG* <-----
