  > It’s time for attorney generals

Attorneys general

They are attorneys, so that is the word to pluralize. What type of attorney are they? General

This is an explanation poor of why that's the plural correct. You make it sound like that's grammar normal English.

Him forgive, programmer he Forth a is.

You thank.

Nah, it's just a convention adopted from French after the Norman Conquest.

I think its monomorphization: Attorneys::<General>().

Wouldn't that be Vector::<Attorney::<General>>() ?

SMASH EVERYTHING INTO FLAT ENGLISH, GIVING COBOL!

LIST OF GENERAL ATTORNEYS FTW!

(SEE HOW EVEN THE ACRONYM AT THE END OF THE SENTENCE FITS INTO COBOL SYNTAX, BEING IN UPPERCASE?)

COMPILE IN A FLASH, DEBUG AT LEISURE.

AND DON'T FORGET YOUR COBOL PERIODS.
