People say one is plural and one is possesion but the "Q" stands for questions and already has the "s." What am I missing?

The plural of FAQ is FAQ's. If you have a letter or acronym, you make it all capital and have to add an apostrophe.

Example:

A's, not As

PFD's, not PFDs

"People say one is plural and one is possesion but the "Q" stands for questions and already has the "s." What am I missing?"

Well, FAQ's is plural of FAQ. like if there is more than one Frequently Asked Questions page.

cause it's not possesive form. FAQs meaning plural not possession.
