If there was a sign showing you which way the cash machines were, should it read ATMS or ATM'S?0

ATMS, I think.0

25/25 but I'm not sure I trust the result0

Not saying my grammar is perfect but it's amazing the number of people who use the word 'your' when they mean 'you're'.1

I'm worried that everyone has got perfect scores so far, therefore I won't take part.
I wouldn't want to loose.

How do you know you got 25/25? I just took the test and it did not give a definitive score - just said "Congratulations, you are a Grammar Master" etc etc0

Technically I'm not sure it's any of the above. Machines is the word that the M is representing so by adding an s on the end of the acronym (actually an initialism as the initials don't spell a word) you are pluralising a plural. So it should just be ATM.thai malaysia addick said:

But don't you need the "s" to differentiate between a single and multiple number of the aforementioned machines? Otherwise the reader is left with incomplete information.Rizzo said:

I hate these non-descript TLAs (see what I did there). I'd much prefer it if everyone stuck to Cashpoint.0

I remember in Private Eye a debate about what to call the section of the letters page devoted to minor corrections. Should it be
Pedant's corner, (singular possessive)
Pedants corner, or (adjective)
Pedants' corner? (plural possessive)
In the end they went with Pedantry corner!

The way people pronounce words today leaves me wondering about the standard of teaching in our schools and universities. Contri-bute instead of Con-trib-ute, Distri-bute instead of Dis-trib-ute and my all time favourite Arks instead of Ask.0

Con-troversy instead of contra-versy.0

The s is helpful but I'm not sure it's correct. I do however stand to be corrected on the matter.cafcfan said:

The number of people who claim to work in Haitch R. Whenever I hear it I want to scream 'Haitch -AAARRRGGHHH!!!' at them.
If you can't even say the name of your job properly, you shouldn't be doing it.0 -
