I think a couple of their examples are wrong - they say that CD's is wrong because it is a plural (and I would normally type CDs myself), but I think the apostrophe is acceptable in CD's because CD is an abbreviation, as is MOT.

nahh...you're wrong

nahh...you're wrong

www.businessballs.com:

"Apostrophes are generally considered optional but are not 'preferred' (which basically means that fewer people will regard the usage as correct) in pluralised abbreviations such as OAPs, and tend not to be used at all in well known abbreviations such as CDs and MPs. Increasingly, apostrophes in common abbreviations such as CD's and MP's are considered by many to be incorrect, and so on balance are best avoided"

So not best practice (as I say, I don't do it), but not actually wrong

[Darren B]

Sorry, i think they should have them, it aint proper english

CDs or CD's - Compact Disks hmmm not to sure
