Where's that CAMRA website I slagged you off about Dave (Campaign for Real Apostrophes or something).  I manage to apply the rules consistently but I keep remembering the ownership one (when the last letter is not an s) the wrong way around.

erm... whats the best way to sample quotes off DVD's using a computer?

[dave]

"using a computer" belonging to DVD???? :huh:

[Jim]

:321:

[dave]

as a point of pedantry, has anyone else spotted the rogue apostrophe on the hard grit dvd?  :wink:

[Stubbs]

"using a computer" belonging to DVD???? :huh:

Not to get too pedantic, but isn't it correct usage of an apostrophe when a word or phrase has been abbreviated :?:

Grey area I think, but general feeling is no apostrophe.
PAHs and PCBs in your reports if you don't mind......

[Jim]

this is all fine but I want to rip some samples off some DVD(')s. Any one suggest what software I need

[Stubbs]

Windows sound recorder?  :wink:

IHMO, treat it like any other word (i.e. no apostrophe for plurals, use apostrophe for possesives)

e.g:

I bought 2 DVDs last weekend.

One DVD's case was cracked.

Actually, having written that second sentence I'm not so sure but my geeky grammato-pedant brain won't let me change it.

they can be used when theres been some letters ommited, like in don't
, can't. so if you were going to apply that to DVD it would be D'V'D', thus D'V'D''S which is cleary bollocks. since DVD is an abreviation of initials generally used as a word in its own right, so you just treat it like any other word.

[Paz]

just treat it like any other word.

Word!
