"A.P." is a acronym for "Advanced Placement," and "coulda" is a word, according to my Southern dictionary, myself, and most of the people that I know. As for the numbers, my mother's autocorrect is strange...

I don't see anything wrong with this post but I wanted to edit it anyway to join in on the fun
You don't abbreviate NASA as N.A.S.A., do you?

Also, CollegeBoard uses the term AP, not A.P., but if you would like to dispute even further, be my guest.
The point is, no one likes posts "correcting" people's grammar or spelling or whatever. They literally don't do anything except annoy people. I know that originally this wasn't a grammar nazi type post but still, there's a reason why Prescriviptists (lol I probably butchered the spelling) exists.

Also, Things2Do, "my Southern dictionary, myself, and most of the people that I know" are not a valid source. If you're allowed to use your own whims as a justification for using terrible grammar, then there's no point to you correcting others' mistakes because they could just use the same excuse. And just so you know, it's "an" acronym, not "a" acronym.
