Re: Apostrophes for possessives only (not plurals) for .uk readers.
i.e.
- The plural of CMS is CMSs
- The plural for OER is OER as the 's' is embedded in OER ("Open Educational Resources").
- An OER's components.
- A CMS's registered users
Referring to many CMSs and OER:
- The CMSs' features may be compared here.
- The OERs' licenses would need to be compatible.
>>The plural of CMS is CMSs >>The plural for OER is OER as the 's' is embedded in OER ("Open Educational Resources").
I wonder if that might be confusing, making OER an exception.
>>The OERs' licenses would need to be compatible.
If the "s" is embedded, shouldn't it be OER' (though that seems strange).
