Indeed... DJs is the correct usage.
the whole apostrophe ownership thing still applies here, right?
Adelaide's best djs
The dj's breakfast
djs would be the common usage though - why would we talk about what a dj eats for breakfast. Actually, driLLer does at Bingo at Garage :D
Think I better just let this one go ;) :tripping:
Still sounds the same in the end so either way doesn't matter to me

When making an acronym or an initialism plural, add a lowercase "s" and do not use an apostrophe; for example, the plural of disc jokey (DJ) is DJs, not DJ's.

YES YES YES... someone does know!!
Thank God!
referring to something that an individual dj owns has nothing to do with being a plural (mad nazi english lover lotus get off the forum now!) :P
fark, in the end i agree with u guys. im not going to argue about semantics and i just realised how argumentative i was sounding even tho it was all tongue in cheek!!!
this song comes to my mind, "u say potatoe i say potato" :P :P
