It doesn't matter where you live, English grammar rules hold true anywhere. An attorney general is an attorney, a general type of attorney. general qualifies attorney, it's an adverb that modifies attorney. The proper form is Attorneys general. Dont matter to me, though.
Ah grammar! :huh: It's important to keep its democratic character clearly in mind, isn't it? Otherwise we'd be overwhelmed by people saying things like "This is something up with which I will not put!", would we not? B)
