Note
An initialism turned verb takes its ending the ordinary way: the -s attaches straight to the capitals, with no apostrophe. The verb is a conversion of the noun for "do it yourself," which also works as an adjective (DIY furniture). Because that noun is usually uncountable, a written DIYs is almost always the verb, as in she DIYs her own shelves.
