Have you noticed that people say "I have 3DCs"? I've done it myself. But of course, it should be "I have 3DC", but that looks wrong, even if it is right.

If "C" was child, then DCs would be correct. Or would it?

It's be like correcting someones txt spk with the 'right' txt splng

No, the plural of child is children. Not childs. TDWP - I suppose you are right.
