Supposed to be plural of don't (which is a contraction). Do contractions have plurals? (Also he needs to decide where to put the apostrophe within the definition) SemperBlotto 20:20, 22 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

It certainly has a plural, especially in the phrase cited. ("do's and don't's," "dos and don'ts," "do's and don'ts"). The last appears to be the most common, on raw googling. It may occur on its own without "do's" as well (with the same sense of 'a thing that shouldn't be done'). I'll see about rustling up cites. —Muke Tever 23:24, 22 March 2006 (UTC)Reply
