Thank you, Dick Cavett, for pointing out something that bothered me this week:
Could someone please inform our lawmakers on the Senate Judiciary Committee that Attorney General Gonzales is not a general? Was it sixth or was it seventh grade when we all learned that “general†is the adjective? He is a general attorney, Senator Grassley (even the inspector general has no stars on his shoulders), and every time you call him “General Gonzales†you embarrass your home state of Iowa. And all of us.
Amen! And an addition: the plural is “attorneys general.”
