    Note

    Before a surname it works as a written title, and it pluralizes when several names share it: The Philadelphia Inquirer of 1883 announces "Profs. Cook and Van Derbeck." The plural is spelled Profs. or Profs, with or without the period. Away from names it becomes a jaunty common noun, as in the Cornell Forester's 1920 song "The Profs," which envies "the Profs' soft snap." In speech, people normally say the full Professor.
