Indeed... DJs is the correct usage.

In real time, I'm listening to this... 618?

the whole apostrophe ownership thing still applies here, right?

Adelaide's best djs
The dj's breakfast

djs would be the common usage though - why would we talk about what a dj eats for breakfast. Actually, driLLer does at Bingo at Garage Big Grin :D

Think I better just let this one go Wink ;) Stoned :tripping:

When making an acronym or an initialism plural, add a lowercase "s" and do not use an apostrophe; for example, the plural of disc jokey (DJ) is DJs, not DJ's.

referring to something that an individual dj owns has nothing to do with being a plural (mad nazi english lover lotus get off the forum now!) tongue :P

fark, in the end i agree with u guys. im not going to argue about semantics and i just realised how argumentative i was sounding even tho it was all tongue in cheek!!!

this song comes to my mind, "u say potatoe i say potato" tongue :P tongue :P

I promise not to post any more in this thread.
