Re: Pluralization of MSDS?

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

We usually operate on the presumption that the acronym can stand for 
either "sheet" or "sheets" and say "Send me the MSDS on these." 
Sometimes we refer to "MSDS data," since we almost never receive the 
information in hardcopy form anymore.
