Default How many uk.d-i-y members does it take to change a lightbulb?

27 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs.
14 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the
corrected URL's.
3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to
this
group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group.

And at least one to post that the plural of URL is URLs and not URL's.


And another to post, that that's total rubbish.

Acronyms such as URL are pronounced using their component letters
as individual sounds thus YOU ARE ELL. Not as EARL.

While the plural of URL pronounced Earl would indeed be URLs
the plural of URL pronounced YOU ARE ELL is URL's.

The exact same applies to things such as MBE's, CBE's, and OBE's


Tsk, tsk. No it doesn't.

But continue to speak moron if it makes you happy.


The plural of URL is URL.
Its an acronym and they don't actually have plurals.
Most people would put URLs.
Only grocers differ.
