How to spell out plural acronyms

[chanakavp]

The audience I write for is not familiar with the term API. So, I need to spell it out. But in the first instance of API, the term is pluralized as "application program interfaces". In that case, should the acronym be plural (APIs) as well?

Hi Chanaka, Yes, as you suggested when you spell-out an acronym in its plural form; it's better to have the acronym pluralised. another example: Account Servicing Payments Service Providers (ASPSPs) @camind, please correct if this is not the MS style guide's recommendation.
