In Julie's poem Recursive, she says 'crosses T.' oddly enough, this line is similar to a poem i'm working on, but i make t plural. how do you do this? T's or Ts? T's doesn't seem grammatically correct, but Ts doesn't look right.

My Oxford English Usage says "Ts" is correct. I love my Oxford English Usage - that's how sad I am.

I would use "Ts."

How sad am I? I'm envious of your book.

That's strange that the Oxford usage says that. When we were writing our term papers senior year of high school, we got a grammar lesson. I was taught that it would be "t's" and that "cd's" is correct too.
