Aren?t we supposed to say, first, second, third, rather than firstly, secondly, and thirdly?
I believe that either is acceptable, but why use firstly when first says exactly the same thing without the extra two letters?

Why use a large word when a dimunitive one will suffice?

So, we can finally stop adding "ly" to the words first, second, and third.
Now, can we figure out if it is nazi's or nazis?

Plurals of acronyms don't require an apostrophe, unless the s could be confused as being part of the acronym itself.
For example: multiple Runabout Sport Xtremes = RSX's so as not to be confused with the RSX Type-S

[Edit] That's not a thumbs up for Nazis, just saying that "Nazis" is the correct form
