    PGP? Have you ever dealt with any banking or financial corporations? You’d have better luck getting the money handlers and decision makers to authenticate transactions with magic.

    Hong Kong and Japan are the absolute worst I’ve experienced. Their online banking UI’s and processes are stuck in the late 90’s to early 2000’s.

        It’s stylistically acceptable to put an apostrophe for plurals in cases where the plural thing isn’t a “normal” word, as is the case for initialisms like UI or numbers like the latter two you caught.

        Obviously a given body may make its own rules in this regard, but luckily English has no overall authority, and this is informal communication outside the domain of any minor ones (beyond, perhaps, idle pedants and prescriptivists).
