Point taken Craig, an old habit that refuses to die! Must be the bad influence of some of my colleagues here. Should stick to para. 7.84 of the Style Manual.

Last year I was down to my last few bucks and this happened all the time with some of the cowboy IT agencies. But at the risk of igniting debate on English usage, I'd have to say that I'd reject the CV of anyone who uses _CV's_ (or _CD's_, _TV's_ etc.) instead of _CVs_. ------------------------------------------ This e-mail is confidential.
