    The way I knew it in the UK is:

    AC - singular air conditioner

    AC’s - air conditioner’s [something]

    ACs - multiple air conditioners

      Thanks. That helps quite a bit. The internet’s fury has made me question whether I am correct in this regard countless times, but I still have textbooks that say that the usage in this meme is correct. I’ve been curious for a long time.

      It’s the same in the US, people just aren’t very aware of/careful about grammar here.
