I shall take the advice of the Tube station posters and drink some water before I continue my journey on usenet. It could be argued that words endin in -co as an abreviation for company could legitmately be made plural by co's as a contraction of companies. Of course if you were doing that, you should probably write it infra'co's. Robin infra'co's would probably not be necessary as I think the one apostrophe can imply the others[1] but I suspect you would have to write to singular as infraco' in order to get away with it. [1] For instance I have seen 'fridge for refrigerator but have never seen 'fridge' -- Each day a man watched a donkey walk past a high wood fence with one plank removed. First he saw the nose, then the ears, then the neck, forequarters, back and finally the tail. He pondered this for a time and eventually declared. “I understand now. The nose causes the tail” |
