EX. John can now count by 2's, 3's, and 4's.
I'd like a source for the numbers, please. I have confirmed your letter use as proper and will adjust accordingly. However, I have not found anything that suggests the use of an apostrophe to pluralize any number. I would also like a confirmation on whether or not you do the same for numbers greater than ten or one hundred. I do know for a fact that you do not do so on years.

I will add it anyway until it is proven wrong.
