How-tos may be correct but it looks awful. I prefer the incorrect "how-to's" Regards John
Thus, the plural of how-to is how-tos. The plural of wiki is wikis. > Unsubscribe: http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/wlug

How-tos may be correct but it looks awful. I prefer the incorrect "how-to's"
Personally, I would use "HOWTO" and "HOWTOs", to avoid the wrong plural of "how-to's" and the odd-looking plural "how-tos". But that's just my 50p... Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Waikato, NZ http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ Ph. +64 (7) 858-5174

I agree; HOWTO is usually capitalized. On Sun, 2007-03-25 at 18:36 +1200, Peter Reutemann wrote:

I know your name is “John” but I think that looks too plain. I’ll be writing it J’ohn instead from now on. With pleasure, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
