The Oxford English Dictionary says "attorney generals " is better because the OED editors take the word (phrase?) as ""attorney-general". When you google them limiting the domain to "gov" (US governmental sites), you will hit 42000 sites for "attorneys general" and 7000 sites for "attorney generals". When you google them limiting the domain to "uk" (British sites), you will hit 3500 sites for "attorneys general" and 1400 sites for "attorney generals". pacohttp://www.englishforums.com/English/AttorneyGeneralsAttorneys-General/xjjc/post.htmSun, 08 Mar 2009 12:38:04 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:71538julielai2http://www.englishforums.com/English/AttorneyGeneralsAttorneys-General/xjjc/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-71538.xmlI've often heard "attorney generals", but then I came across "attorneys general" in a legal document. Does it mean the latter is more formal? Just curious.
