It's the key underneath the @.
To clarify, it's the same key as the @, but without the shift key pressed.

It does also depend on what you are using, whether it be a laptop, PC Keyboard or Tablet. On my PC Keyboard the ' symbol is under the " to the left of 'Enter', on my laptop it is under the @ as Ron said and on my IPad it's on the numerical page (123 Key), along with most of the other punctuation marks.

Hope you're sorted now.  :y

.. and you don't need an apostrophe in the example to make a plural of a noun, although one could argue the correct form as "CV" is an abbreviation of a latin expression.

"CVs" would be the correct form without getting into latin. ::)

No worries, and I didn't mean to be pedantic. :y

I think I did Latin for a year at school, and it was a bigger waste of time than doing the football that would otherwise have been in my timetable.. and they used to call me "the statue" when I played football. ::)

This.


Plural nouns NEVER take an apostrophe. If you're unsure about apostrophes, leave them out. You're much more likely to be correct than if you scatter them everywhere.

CV's = CV belonging to him.  Apostrophe indicates missing letters of CV his

CVs = more than one CV
