To settle a debate I had last night, when discussing "Terms & Conditions", which of these is the correct way to say it?

"T's & C's"

"T & C's"

I'm convinced it is the latter, but I can't exactly explain why.

normal usage is the former

terms and conditions not term and conditions

Yes. I wouldn't use the apostrophes, but it doesn't really matter.

Normal, yes, but wrong, surely?

A set of Terms & Conditions is a single entity.

We are discussing that single entity.

Oh bugger, Tighty & Tal both disagree with me.

Very unusual for them both to be wrong.

Perfect.

So it's wrong, but it's OK. 

All very fun

No. Terms is plural, so the abbreviation should logically do so, too. The abbreviation is the problem, as there's no real need to do so in speech, but we've chosen to do so and, having done so, it's spoken as "tees and sees apply"

Another thought - can't believe I'm biting BTW - is that the Terms of the contract and the conditions of sale are separate things, so they'd need to take their own plural.


Tess and Claudia are streets ahead of the Ant and Decs of this world is fine because we treat them as a single entity: a double act

Are all the B&Qs full on a Bank Holiday Monday?! likewise


We're rounding up all the old music you have, so would you please bring in all your unwanted LPs and CDs? needs two plurals.

I don't think they are though.

They (T & C's) are a group, a single grouping.

I am still convinced that the correct plural of "buy in" is buys in.

Tal insisted that I was incorrect last time I raised the subject, although I really don't understand why anything other than the "buy" should be in the plural.

I would have thought it was just T&Cs

No need for spaces or apostrophes
