Hi Moose, and all...
From a textbook on "Writing Rules":
"An apostrophe and s are used to form the plural of a letter, a number, a
sign, or _a word discussed as a word_."
[underlining is mine...]
"e.g. "You use too many and's in your writing.""
In the case of making "OM-4Ti" plural, OM-4Ti is technically considered a
word, so the plural form OM4Ti's is perfectly acceptable.
So is Moose's way! ;-)
