Cake? You must be looking through a different prism.
By the way, on the subject matter of this thread: It did not have a positive effect. (Yes, I'm sure that's not "affect".) I can only try, but sometimes wonder if there's any reason to.

I still have one tiny item to bring up -- an exception, possibly? Consider the common phrase Mind your p's and q's. Talk to me about that.

I know that many "style books" (I think that's what they call them) for print medium companies (think newspapers, magazines) make that exception, also for acronyms. So a pdf document becomes pdf's when referring to two or more. Now, mind you, style books do not follow all the grammatical rules. For example, "rags" are full of sentence fragments. They tend to use a period where a comma should be to break up a long sentence, sometimes even beginning the next paragraph with the last phrase of such a sentence.

Oh, let's not get carried away into that world. That'll bring my grandkids into the picture and you don't want to do that.

A plural is still formed by adding an "s" or "es" and not an 's.
No, I don't feel better.
