Sigh.
An "Apostrophe", not a "Comma".
You see, standards ARE slipping.

It is an apostrophe, not a comma, but both are incorrect. PA"s is possessive, as in my PA"s typing error.
PAs is simply a plural. If you wish to be pedantic (and who doesn"t?), you could argue for abbreviation points after the P and the A, but the more informal PA is in common usage and reads better.

worst grammar-correcting post ever ;D
(is my hyphen ok there?)
--- End quote ---
Yes
--- End quote ---
Isn"t the correct word to use here "pedantry"?
--- End quote ---
Em..........no!
--- End quote ---
Do you really mean "Em" -
"An em is a unit of measurement in the field of typography, equal to the point size of the current font."
Or did you mean "Erm" ? ?
--- End quote ---
MinTrav, you have not answered my query.
--- End quote ---
Okay; no I didn"t mean "Erm". Who ever says that? Words can have more than one meaning, but if you think "Mmmmm" looks better on paper, I am happy to go along with that.
ps. Why don"t you start a Pedants" Thread so we can act smug and feel superior without troubling everyone else?
pps. Before someone starts, I know the apostrophe could go elsewhere or not exist at all, depending on the meaning, but there you go.

So, not "Erm" and definitely not "Em" ? ?
The thread sounds most intriguing.....
