Satire & Safire aside, I'm still wondering about that official title. We're not talking about a "general attorney" here, but the chief officer in a particular branch of government. I know usage favors "attorneys general," on the same principle as "brothers-in-law" & "maitres d'.." &c., but does it make sense? A. Murie A&M Murie N. Bangor NY sagehen at westelcom.com
