Title: Grammar
Post by: bitsnpcs on February 18, 2017, 11:32:04 AM

Hello,

I am writing a new post for my little Linux blog and need a little help please.

A Linux Distribution is shortened to Distro, when meaning more than one Distro is it -

1/ Distro's
2/ Distros
3/ Distros'
4/ Distro

It is telling me all are incorrect.

I am near to publishing it, just a bit more to do.

Hello bitsnpcs

Exciting, a new linux blog!


Here's how I would do what you're asking:

A single linux distribution is shortened to distro

And multiple linux distributions is shortened to distros

Hello Scott(0),

thank you very much  :)

I am just writing a newbie blog, right from the very beginning, and the journey forward in the future. I do have some mini tutorials planned.
