You just use an "s" There is no need for an apostrophe - unless the word is already pluralized and you want to make it possessive.

Still, not as bad as the stupid apostrophes. I do know the period goes inside quotations, but it would just look stupid with it in there with only one word.
And to the person who corrected the title of the thread ![]()

For example, let's say I have a factory that produces widgets. At the end of the day, I learn that two of my employees have messed up their widgets. One employee tells me that he accidentally messed his up while the other employee tells me that he knew how to build his widget correctly, but chose not to because he believes our product looks stupid. Which one do you think I'm going to fire? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t care about periods or quotation marks. I just have to rub it in when you make a thread bitching about people’s use of grammar and then make mistakes in your first two posts. ![]() |

Being Canadian, from the colonies, I find the Queen's english being butchered on the internet all the time. I just bite my lip and carry on.
