What is the grammatically correct way to say "Dos and Donts?"
DOs and DON'Ts?
Do's and Don'ts?
I see it so many ways, and I'm not sure what way is "proper" even if it's not technically proper.

Hi Lysis,
Sorry we all seem to have missed your question.
I found a page at this link by Grammar Girl which might help, although she admits that there isn't one standard that everyone agrees with. https://www.facebook.com/ParallelTransl ... 8983400256
This site also says something similar: http://public.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/dos.html
I can't see a reason to write "do's" so I would try "dos and don'ts", or maybe capitals like your title: "DOs and DON'Ts", although I haven't seen it written that way much on my side of the world. I think it could be the perfect solution, if only all the experts would agree!

Re: How do you say DOs and DONTs
In case anyone else has this question, "Dos and Don'ts" was accepted.
Re: How do you say DOs and DONTs
That's good. It makes sense.
