The CD's (singular) tracks and the CDs' (plural) tracks. Or would it be CD's'? That's my one gripe with putting the apostrophe s for acronyms.

But then when talking about someone getting "all As" in school, it's easy there to realize what's being said, but when someone asks "What grades did you get in school?" And you respond "As," now it's just the word as.

Grammarizing spoken word is a major part of my job and I think about this shit all the time, and sometimes things conflict, and it's dumb, it's all dumb! That's it!

Some would think that there is supposed to be a ' in there but no, the additional "s" is simply missing.
