interesting... so how do you denote 1 RPM? seeing as you would not have agreement if the R stands for Revolutions. (note ending in s)

is it 1 R-sPM? (if in fact a small s does denote the plural of the word imediately before as you insinuate in your post)

then it should be RsPM? but if you say that it is not the case then the OP saying RPMs would be correct since it would be the same as (RPM)s making it plural of more than one Rotation Per Minute...


(im just ****************ing around btw thought its a funny concept. no harm meant) :dance:
