Oh, sorry.
Just that when you insisted that it should be R's, and not Rs, I thought English might not be your Mother tongue. My mistake.

I think it depends on whether Rs (R's) is taken from QPR or an abbreviation of Rangers. If it is an abbreviation of Rangers then it should be R's even though R's is not an official abbreviation. However if it comes from QPR which although it stands for Queens Park Rangers is not an abbreviation because the abbreviated form would be Q.P.R. then it would be Rs.

The discussion was on whether R's is incorrect - and I think we are all agreed, it is not incorrect.
I'm not sure about Rs but I have to say that I'm not buying your argument about QPR not being an abbreviation for "Queens Park Rangers"! Yes, the full stops are often removed for brevity in that type of abbreviation, but even so...!'Only a Ranger!' cried Gandalf.

[QUOTE=dsqpr;1001227]Originally posted by BUSHRANGER1982 View PostNo offence taken! I was just curious about your logic. You do understand that R's is quite correct, I assume? Do you think the French speak better English than the English? I hope not!

Don't forget we use dog teams to get to our igloos over here; plus on a long journey, they make for great snacks.
I feel for you dsqpr, I sent one of my staff out to Winnipeg (McGillivray) from mid October to mid November & they said the snow was crazy out there.Minds Are Like Parachutes.

I thought the 11,000 at Leeds was far more alarming, agree Ferguson pulling out Utd. to play in the World Club match was the start of the demise of the FA cup, remember in the mid-seventies we took around 10,000 to Coventry in a 5th rd. clash, why should fans bother when the managers play a virtual reserve teamI must away now, I can no longer tarry
This morning's tempest I have to cross
