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.

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
