There are a couple of options:

- `CEOs and `GMOs will suppress wikiwording

- the markup extensions recipe requires wikiwords to have at least 
  2 upper case letters and 2 lower case letters, so simple plurals
  of abbreviations are disqualified, along with BSc, PhD and so on

- or try the following in your config.php

    Markup("abbr",'>[[',"/\\b([[:upper:]][[:upper:]]+s)/e","Keep('$1')");
