Thanks.

What about those abbreviations with "dots"? How do I make the dotted words plural?

For example, "ad." and "T.V.", not "ad" and "TV" .

"ad" and "TV" (assuming you mean "television") do not need dots.

I can't think of any instance when I would want to pluralise an abbreviation ending in a dot. If this situation did arise then I would probably write the word(s) out in full or try to find some other workaround.
