quick question - this doesn't look right...
What is the plural form of DELI?
Is it:
1. There are two delis in our neighborhood.
OR
2. There are two deli's in our neighborhood.
I know the second is POSSESSIVE, but the first just doesn't look right. HELP!
 TIA!

delis is correct. It does look kind of weird so I would go with delicatessens.

I think it is because it is an abbreviation of delicatessen ?

Delis. Add an apostrophe if it's possesive, not plural.

THANKS!!! I'm finishing up my cousin's resume, and it didn't look right.
I really should start charging for resume writing...
