Hello,
Would you deem the following examples as correct to denote the plural of words as words?
'was's, 'as's, 'is's, 'his's, 'and's, 'or's, 'but's, 'maybe's, 'whereas's, 'I love you's, 'to-do's, 'how-to's, 'thank-you's, etc. etc.
Many thanks.

To me, that's OK in informal English, but otherwise I'd avoid it by rewording. eg This sentence has three 'and's. ===> This sentence uses the word 'and' three times.
