DJ = singular (one DJ)
Example of proper usage: That DJ couldn't mix to save his life.
DJs = plural (two or more DJs)
Example of proper usage: Those DJs all suck.
DJ's = singular possessive
Example of proper usage: It's always the DJ's fault.
DJs' = plural possessive
Example of proper usage: Those DJs' girlfriends are all hookers.
Same rules should be applied to other common DJ-related terms and abbreviations such as CD, TT, LP, DVD, DVS, etc..
If you are not one of the few who are already using the correct methods, please, for the love of God (and other's sanity) at least consider it. Pretty please. Thanks.

It's even funnier when professional corporations butcher these very basic rules on promotional materials. Well, not really funny, more like perplexing and sad.

No doubt. I've seen all kinds of funny shit on print. I work for this advertising paper and I get all kinds of garbage from companies. Then, I get these other ads that ran in other publications and those are fucked up too. lol

Most of the professional corporations hire interns who make the mistakes.

The first DJs' mixer was used by other DJ's because the two DJ were watching the Olympics instead of packing both of the DJ's mixers.

I hate going to a shopping center or the city and these retarded people making the advertisements don't even have high school level grammar.
It's always the apostrophe for a plural, never knew such a little line could invoke so much anger!
50 blank cd's for $20! sigh

Let me clear that up just in case some missed it... I wasn't saying the Chinese were dumb... I was saying that not everyone with a degree is smarter than those who don't have one.
I put a plural (es) on the word "degrees" which is completely wrong. You don't put "es" on the end of word "Chinese" when using it in the plural sense.
