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).

Yes - strange as it may seem :-). So I would go with OER' for plural possessives.
