Yes, but don't you see D, that's just it!! Usage and correctness...there is a point at which they become impossible to untangle from one another. I say that's where the capitalized acronym/abbreviation plus apostrophe+"s" in the case of plurality dwells currently, while you say it yet resides outside the sheltering umbrella we call standard English.
Who is to decide?
And another question...just what the fuck, exactly, is "M&M"...is it an acronym or abbreviation at all? Is it just a name? And if that's true, then where the hell does that leave us?
