I know there's not one in 'discos', what what about DJ's?
Can't remember the rule - quick help needed please!

Apostrophes are used when something belongs to something else or if there is a letter missing i.e. discos is just plural. DJs is also the plural term, but the apostrophe would apply in "the DJ's pencil." This gets complicated and is turned to DJs' when you are talking about more than one DJ i.e. "The DJs' Association. Complicated I know!

I just had a read of the apostrophe appreciation society and it states on their that they are never used for plurals.
So, if I was writing something along the lines of "we supply quality DJs", then I wouldn't need one - right?
