My boss is quite fond of the pluralizing apostrophes, mainly for abbreviations.

"The following SOP's are ready for review." I see that every day.

Haven't confronted the issue, just edit it whenever I forward or reply.

I see Tapes and "DVD's" in lots of video outlet windows.

Neither example is puke-worthy, however. Prefer to hate the sin but love the sinner.
