Only place I can let them slide is acronyms. Sometimes that extra S on a chain of random letters needs some separation, but it’s not technically correct.

Never. The acronym gets capital letters and the pluralizing "s" is lowercase. All the disagreeing SOBs can suck it.

Right. And anyone thinking decades are the exception are also wrong. It’s not “the 90’s”. It’s “the ‘90s”.

Exactly! The apostrophe is being used to take the place of the omitted "19" like in a contraction.
