Multiple restrikes!" then yes it is "s". If Zdenek is (as one would expect) referring to the "things" say capacitors, and he is using the commonplace compound adjective "multiple-restrike" (which is just like "multiple-choice" or "multi-engine") then there is no "s"; it would just be "Holy crap, we need to buy more multiple-restrike capacitors! Do they have them on amazon.com??" | |
