Don't you think that the plural nominatives without an apostrophe are less ambiguous? I mean RNNs or FSTMs.

It's the OED's and CMoS's recommendation: https://english.stackexchange.com/a/56010/15831




OK thanks for the advice. I will do that from now on. I notice there is an exception for single letters and single digit numbers.


RNNs looks to me like an acronym with a lowercase part. Like “RNN simple” or something. The apostrophe is less ambiguous in this context.
