Technically, ATM, it's a perfectly valid way to pluralize acronyms/initialisms. It's simply a matter of style and personal preference.

Oh, good. I'm glad that there's more than one way to skin a cat, as the phrase goes.
Thank heaven that English lacks the ossifying power of a single regulatory body like the Académie française.
“That Darth Vader, man. Sure does love eating Jedi.”
Indeed. It makes me roll my eyes when the prescriptive grammar handed out by l'Académie dismisses constructions or vocabulary used in Québec as "des grossiers barbarismes" or suchlike.
Impressive commande of French you have there.
“That Darth Vader, man. Sure does love eating Jedi.”
Ben oui !
Parlez-vous le français couramment ?
A little.
Or rather, quelque fois, mais je le flagelle encore.
PS: Pardon my edit.

I'd like to bitch about all the french in this thread, but I'd have to do it in french, and I cannot, so therefor I'm instead going to bitch about how my friend was supposed to bring over beer and instead brought a bunch of sugary sweet malt liquor bullsh*t that's just going to give me a headache. He has the alcoholic taste of a teenage girl.

You speak it a little fluently...or is that fluently a little? Que voulez-vous dire par cela ?
EDIT: I'd like to botch about people posting just before I do, necessitating the addition of a quote. Why can't you just wait five seconds?
Posting 5 seconds early is just the way we do things in my neighborhood.
Well this is just great.
As if the fact that I am going to spend the rest of my life alone wasn't depressing enough.

The only good thing that can be taken away from this is that at least my life will be short.

One of my best friends is the same way. He can't drink anything without a ton of sugar in it. Alcohol, coffee, tea and he drinks soda all the time.
And, of course, he ignores my advice after asking how I keep weight off.
I've always wondered, what the hell is Malt Liquor anyway?
Billy Dee Williams sure seems to like it and "40s" of it seem to always be connected with "Blunts" in rap records. But I've no idea what its made of, tastes like, or anything really.

I don't know what it is, either, but apparently it gives you "Ooooo".
Ceci n’est pas une signature.
I am running out of Dune and Twin Peaks jokes to make while watching Agents of Shield!
My wife makes ordering at a drive thru window a huge debacle every time. Changes her mind, changes her order, misspeaks, doesn't decide what she's ordering until she's talking to the speaker, stops ordering to ask people in the back seat if they still want what she ordered, doesn't notice her purse is in the trunk until it's time to pay, changes the order at the window. Then wonders why her orders are frequently wrong.

This is far from the technical definition, but in practical terms it's basically small amounts of alcohol (comparable to light beer most of the time) crammed into sweet yummy sugary tasting drinks where you can barely taste the alcohol and it just tastes like the drink it's mimicking. Mike's Hard Lemonade, Redd's Apple Ale (don't let Ale confuse you), Johnny Appleseed's Hard Apple Cider etc. MHL is just as sweet as lemonade and you can barely taste the alcohol, Redd's and Johnny Appleseed basically taste like apple cider with a slight hint of alcohol. Basically for teenage girls and people who don't drink much or are new to drinking.
Actually, malt liquor is beer made from malted barley and has a high percentage of alcohol compared to normal beer. 5% or more.
The drinks Possessed is talking about may be made from malt liquor, but that's not what Ryans rappers are talking about.
Mickey's and Colt .54 are the standards.
And they "work every time!" ; )
5 percent is only high when you compare it to light beer. Most people don't realize that normal budweiser is actually considered light beer. Standard beers usually have between 6 and 7 percent alcohol. Budweiser black crown lager has 6, miller fortune has 6.9, natty light (nasty shit) has 5.9. 5 percent and below is the standard for light beer.
I think the Uk equivelant might be a bit like "Carlsberg Special Brew" (Also see "Tennants Super"). A super-strength Lager mostly associated with winos and tramps...
^ Love how it lists the amount of units you should safely drink and then right along side, the bit where it says that one can of Special-Brew is about double that limit x-D
But if ML is something teenagers drink just to get smashed quickly and cheaply, then that would be more like "White Lightning" Cider...
btw, I LOLed at this...

Heh, even I'm not that trampy. Although admittedly the alcoholic content of a beverage has little significance, as (for a rationale person anyway) a higher content just means less consumed so it's the same. In some ways a higher content could even be considered healthier because then you drink less.
Personally I like lager's that are between 6 and 7 percent. My favorite is budweiser black crown at 6, but I also like miller fortune which is at 6.9. Sometimes I drink regular budweiser but it's only 5 percent so it's not my first choice. 2 black crowns is the perfect pre-work buzz... enough so that you're in a great mood but not enough that you become shitfaced!
Why aren't we talking about MrsBoost?
Which One?
Boost, like Watson, has several wives.
