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.

YES, BUT YOU LOSE THAT EFFECT WHEN IT'S ALL IN CAPS. THAT WAS SORT OF MY POINT.

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* <----- Fire block

So MY grammar teachers lied? All of them?

I hate English.

Anyway, as long as your intent is understood, that's what's important, right?

Two plus Two is eleven base three.

This is one of my favorite "kinds of.." quotes. Slight smile [enjoyed it since the first time I saw it! Smiley ]
