Title says it all. Just noticed PLC's (as in more than one PLC) written on dh's website and it looks wrong to me.
TIA

Is wrong. An apostrophe either means a letter is missing (as in it's for it is) or denotes possession (Jane's coat). Plurals (see) don't have apostrophes (unless on greengrocer's stalls ).

You're welcome (am always scared of replying on pendants' corner as have to get grammar absolutely top notch and usually I don't on MN, even though I know it really)!
