You crazy New Zealanders. Oh, wait, I'm one-quarter New Zealander. Oops.

Well, in any case, I was taught US English, and that is always what I'll use.

Australian English is the same as UK English.

Really? The english ect. use apostrophes for plural? Hm. That doesn't really make much sense, but what the hell.

Jee, thanks renegade. You made my post one letter better.

I'm english (No popycock jokes please) I've only learned UK english and I only use apostrophies (SP? I didn't check) if a letter is missing (E.G I am -I'm) not for plurals.

P.S I'm serious about no popycock jokes
P.P.S No really don't make jokes
P.P.P.S And no classical music either!
P.P.P.P.S AND NO TEA JOKES!!
P.P.P.P.P.S Ahh what does it matter you'll do it anyway..

It's "apostrophes" and "etc.", for those of you having difficulty.

Sometimes for plurals there are letters missing. For example, in VCR (which is an acronym), "ecorder" is not there, so you'd have to put an apostrophe in between the "R" and the "s" to indicate the absence of the other letters.
