Hello,
Is there a better option than the one below to put acronyms in quote marks oif they have to be followed by an apostrophe indicating possession? There are too many marks together.
“CPF”’s

Hello,

“CPF”’s
That should be "CPF's".
Yes, it would be better, but the thing is that the quote marks are needed covering just the CPF, not the possessive. I guess that the best choice would be to restructure the entire sentence.
daniel OK. If you must have the quote marks around CPF then I agree. "CPF"'s looks odd. Maybe you should restructure. Can I help you with that?
Yes, Vicente. Thank you. We have to leave it like that then.
Would putting CPF in italics work?
CPF's
I will reread the sentence, but I think that it is a good option. Sometimes, they can be easily exchanged. Thank you!
Let me know if it works.
Watch out for the consistency throughout the file too;)
The team told me that it may work, but it certainly changes the style. Italics and marks are not perfectly replaceable.
What about using an "of" construction instead of the genitive case?Quote:

Thank you. That could have been an option. I had to deliver that contract in which CPF appeared a few times.
