    the guy is absolutely correct, and you are willfully stupid.

    the apostrophe misuse is a very common one, but makes no grammatical sense. ex; "mp3s" is the correct plural, "mp3's" would would refer to something belonging or attributable to an mp3. otoh, if it were something all mp3s had in common, it would be "mp3s'".

    i wouldn't have been one to bring up your illiteracy, but since you rejected relatively polite advice on the correct way to denote plurals based on numeric or non-alphabetic symbols, i feel completely justified in pointing out that ignorance is correctable, but stupidity is lifelong.
