Should be Bajas Blast, like Attornies General
- WorldMaker 2y agoI have stated this case before for Doctors Pepper

- robertlagrant 2y agoDon't forget witches three and Airpods Pro.
- echelon 2y ago> Attornies General How archaic! This seems wrong and broken, and surely in a generation or two it will no longer be considered proper. I'm glad the collective might of society and culture, much like a river changing course, can mutate language.
- hnbear 2y agoModern example: AirPods Pro.
- JohnFen 2y ago> This seems wrong and broken Does it? "Attorney" is the noun. "General" is the adjective. You pluralize the noun, not the adjective.
- resolutebat 2y agoAs a military rank, "general" is already a noun and you say "army generals", so why not "attorney generals"?
- Clamchop 2y agoI think it's the word order, borrowed from French, that's scrutinized here. I don't know if that makes it "broken" but it is a special case with only a handful of peers. A native English construction would be general attorneys.
