Note
A regular plural, though the spelling can trip writers up: because a vowel comes before the final y, it simply adds -s rather than changing to -ies, as keys and valleys do. The plural covers every meaning of the singular, from courtroom lawyers in American usage to agents authorized to act for someone else. In the title attorney general, the plural goes on the head noun: attorneys general.
