Administered or Not Administered... That is the Question

<p>I am pretty sure the ACT’s in the real ACT book were actually administered a few years ago, but does the same hold true for the two tests available in the $20 online course? How about the test in free ACT guide book? </p>

<p>That is the question(s)… </p>

<p>What is the answer?</p>

<p>The answer is yes for all… As far as I know, all those tests were previouly administered (but a loooong time ago).</p>

<p>Also, is the way I wrote “ACT’s” in the original post correct, or should it be ACTs since ACT is not possessing anything?</p>

<p>@internet, I’ve seen a lot of grammar books and online sources that claim that using the apostrophe to pluralize a word is incorrect. In reality, though, it’s often the clearest way of pluralizing acronyms, single letters, etc. My best advice for you would be to consider your audience. If you avoid using it in your college papers or when otherwise writing formally, you’ll probably be fine. On the internet and other less formal avenues, I’ve seen almost uniform adoption of the apostrophized plural, so you don’t really need to worry about it when asking a question here.</p>

<p>^^ Thanks for your reply. A couple of months ago I probably would hardly have noticed the apostrophe there, but since the ACT became a part of my life I try to notice grammatical errors when I see them.</p>
