Greengrocer's' Apostrophe's: MAINTAINING SCAN FOR UFO'S
Was using 's for plural acronyms acceptable then? I remember seeing 1970's, 70's, etc. almost always, while today it would be 1970s, 70s.
In North Carolina (and other states), they have resolved apparent departmental or legislative indecision and inconsistent wording in documents ("Drivers License" vs "Driver's License") by calling it a "Driver License," which sounds like something you have to get to carry your play club.
It makes sense in the context of the show. In the show, UFO became the accepted "name" for the aliens visiting our world, pronounced as an actual word: "Oofoe"
Yeah, it's silly Gerry Anderson stuff, but it actually has some damn dark themes and episodes running through it. The whole concept of the show is that aliens are coming to earth to suck the vital fluids out of people. It is never revealed why they do this or quite who they are or where they come from. There's also a lot of big brother themes in it about the SHADO organization's control over its own people and censorship of the media.
