"if you write anything criticizing editing or proofreading, there will be a fault of some kind in what you have written".
Of course, the full stop should've been inside the quotation marks...

sushilord, you're going to hate me for this, but you don't need an apostrophe for "COs" or "multis", as an apostrophe is not required for plurals.
On a side note, I don't mind having my grammar and spelling issues pointed out at all, so go for it. I have checked these three sentences about 15 times, but I'm sure I've still made a mistake!
Ah yes, but you do for abbreviations, so it would be correct to use an apostrophe in multi's as this is a shortening of multicaches!

Only if you also use mult'e or multi'e for the singular!
