It took me a long time to break out of the habit of "cd's" and "iso's"
and instead type them properly as "CDs" and "ISOs".
Many professors consider either form OK, but to be proper you should use the same form
that you would use if you wrote the actual words instead of the abbreviated forms. You
should also be consistent in the form you use in your document.
"The CDs are broken." is "The Compact Disks are broken." (plural)
"The CD's broken." is "The Compact Disk's broken." or "The Compact Disk is
broken." (singular)
"The CD's case is broken" is "The Compact Disk's case is broken." (singular,
posessive)
That's what they taught us anyway. (Though these days I often wonder what the instructor's
really know!) ;)
