and "rs" is not a possessive but a plural, thusly no apostrophe.   ;D

It is gratifying that proper punctuation and grammar ain't kicked the bucket for some of us, at least.

It is correct usage when the apostrophe is used to avoid ambiguity.
One might make a case for it in "r's".

mouser:
nice one chris.  can you site cite an authority for that?

ps.
i'm guessing chris must own "Fowler's Modern English", one of my favorite books on the planet, but if not, I know what i'm getting him for xmas.

Deozaan:
"cite"  :P ;D

mouser:
