Re: [Elecraft] R: K3s vs K3's

[Nr4c]

I believe the new radio is a K3S, not a K3s. Elecraft use the upper case "S" in 
a smaller size for the logo. 

Now I don't know how to tell a lower case "s" from an upper case except for 
size. Go figure.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft] R: K3s vs K3's

[Fred C. Jensen]

In the Lao (and Thai) language, there are no plural forms.  It would be either 
"K3s" meaning one, or "n K3s" where n is the number of radios. English is as 
obscure as C.

Re: [Elecraft] R: K3s vs K3's

[Mark via Elecraft]

Re:   "Wayne posted this message early in the K3S era..."

Good find, Phil.  I think that would make more than one K3S be K3S's.  That is 
just my opinion and it is free, so take it for what it is worth.  Mr. Websters 
rules were not free.  I had to pay for them.

Re:   >> use the terms K3's or K3s'<<

>Grammatically incorrect.  Use of the>
>apostrophe indicates possessive<

Well, not always.  Websters New World Dictionary (mine is a 1965 edition and 
getting pretty used up) lists six uses for the apostrophe, with number six 
being:

"6)  in the forming the PLURAL of letters, numbers, etc.  Example:  He 
pronounced his th's like s's.  She made her l's look like 7's."

So, given that, more than one K3 would be K3's.

Wayne requested that one K3s be just that, K3s.  Does that make more than one 
K3s be K3s' or K3s's.  I think it would be K3s', but I can't find the rule that 
says to drop the last s.  It is in this dictionary...somewhere.

Grammatically incorrect.  Use of the apostrophe indicates possessive as
in "belonging to the K3 or K3s" - for example "the K3's VFO A knob".

Re: [Elecraft] R: K3s vs K3's

Wayne posted this message early in the K3S era:

Generally it's supposed to be "K3S" (capital). Please use that in email.

However, on the radio itself, and in the owner's manual (etc.) we use a 
slightly \
smaller capital "S". To be specific, about 85% of a full-height capital. This 
just \
seemed like the right thing to do. Don't get me started on branding and graphic 
\
design

I'm looking forward to seeing a blog post with the official "S" scaling :)

That seems pretty "Elecraft official" to me :-)

Due to the odd way Elecraft chose to label the new K3s, I would request that
when referring to multiple radios, use the terms K3's or K3s' rather than
simply K3s which implies a single radio.
