Reminds me of the zookeeper writing to one at another zoo: "Could you please supply a pair of platypuses." Hmmm. Start again. "Could you please supply a pair of platypi." Hmmmm. "Could you please send us a platypus. And while you're at it, send us another one."

To brung a note of sanity to this important topic that somes seems to finds funnies let me says that (phew that was closest) the item being pluralated is bicycle the B in BMX so more than one BMX is B'sMX.
Bad apostrophe...
Nice logic though, but then shouldn't it be BMXBs...
After all, BMX is the sport, and so it should always really be a BMXB, no?

BicycleMotorCrossBicycle is what you mean?
Surely in anticipation os some idiot having more than one it should be MCB then we just have to nail down the apostrophe.

That would be a bicycle biker with an MX thrown in. Unless the final B stands for bod.

[QUOTE 3636342, member: 45"]That woman who wrote the panda book says an apostrophe is ok with initials.[/QUOTE]
This is true
BMX's is OK. The apostrophe used here denotes there has been a contraction and gives the s a separation.

A contraction?
From what?
Never heard of the 'panda book', but it sound to me to be full of what bears do in the woods.
