How do you quote a book in plural form?
How do you quote something but in plural form?
For example, let's just say somebody said 'what?' and then you wanted to say, 'several more 'what?'s rang around the room. Like, does that make sense or what do you say?
Thanks

That's how I'd say it. I'd write it like this...
"What?" she demanded. Several more "What?"s resounded through the room.
Or you could do "what" in italics and the S not italicized to designated it. Or you could just skip it all together and say that other people repeated the same word, hehe.

Trying to pluralise "what" is bound to prove awkward and seem clumsy, at least in writing. Rephrase your idea, e.g.:
"What?" she demanded. Her question was echoed by other speakers right around the room.
