> I've never really been sure what to do in these circumstances I just add a lowercase s to the end of the small-capped abbreviation. I credit the readers with enough intelligence to recognise that, if the abbreviation ATM is used in the text, then ATMs is going to be ATM pluralised. It's no different from the same pluralised abbreviation appearing in a heading set in all caps (eg, BANK UPGRADES ATMS).
