Pluralize a single letter
To form the plural of a single letter, italicize the letter and add an
apostrophe followed by the unitalicized letter s.
Recommended: We called tech support
because the printer wasn't printing uppercase B's or lowercase
p's.
Recommended: If you still use a pen and paper,
dotting your i's is still necessary. Cross your t's, too.
When the capitalization is irrelevant, use uppercase.
Recommended: Mind your P's
and Q's.
