    No. An apostrophe is acceptable in the plural of a single letter
    Not by me it's not! An apostrophe used to pluralize anything is the thin edge of the wedge in that it spawns HMO's, then nanny's and now we are getting nouns ending in a consonant being thus abused!

    Better still, why not move Xmas to June 25th

    Or even better than that , live in Australia where they have Xmas in the summer AND have even sunnier weather than UK most of year.

    I'd still use an apostrophe in those circumstances. But then I'm another pedant. :D

    Hi all, as Martyn knows, I am having problems with my system...I have 3 rooves with a dual mppt 4kw. After much argument and involving of the regulators, the company are offering me the following options...put my 2 sw/we panels,4 on each roof, onto a dual mppt 3kw ..leave my nw panels where they are and put them on a separate 2 kW inverter. Or use micro inverters. What do peeps think please? I need to make a decision ..the owner thinks this will resolve problems as he disagrees that I have shading and won't commit to brands such as solar edge or enphase. Advice please.
