Thanks. That helps quite a bit. The internet’s fury has made me question whether I am correct in this regard countless times, but I still have textbooks that say that the usage in this meme is correct. I’ve been curious for a long time.
I will when I can. They are in a storage unit that I can get to on Saturday at best and I will have to dig through stuff. There is also a fair chance of my memory failing because it has been 25 years.
The way I knew it in the UK is:
AC - singular air conditioner
AC’s - air conditioner’s [something]
ACs - multiple air conditioners
It’s the same in the US, people just aren’t very aware of/careful about grammar here.
it drives me nuts. please preserve grammar, people. it just descends into chaos without it.

Share pics of the textbooks saying that, I’d be curious to see.
