English

Noun

Ts

1. plural of T

Usage notes

• Opinions vary regarding the use of apostrophes when forming the plurals of letters of the alphabet. New Fowler's Modern English Usage, after noting that the usage has changed, states on page 602 that "after letters an apostrophe is obligatory." The 15th edition of The Chicago Manual of Style states in paragraph 7.16, "To avoid confusion, lowercase letters ... form the plural with an apostrophe and an s". The Oxford Style Manual on page 116 advocates the use of common sense.

Noun

Ts

1. (chemistry) Abbreviation of tosyl.

Usage notes

Arguably should not be used, to avoid confusion with Ts = tennessine. This will be especially a problem if and when a means of mass-producing tennessine is invented.

Noun

Ts

1. Abbreviation of Tuesday.
