How to Use the Plural Form of a Lowercase Letter

Use an apostrophe and the letter (’s) when pluralizing a lowercase letter.

  • Example: The book contained a printing error that turned all its h’s into b’s.

Do not use an apostrophe and the letter (’s) to pluralize uppercase letters.

  • Example: Professor Vanya holds multiple PhDs.
  • Example: Aiden earned all As in his classes last semester.
  • Example: The Ps are my favorite section of the library.
