Default Proper gramer for the plural of Attorney General.?
When discussing Attorney General in plural terms, is it: Attorneys General or Attorney Generals or Attorney General's? If used in this sentence: The Attorneys General of ten states went.......blah blah blah.. What is the correct way to write this?

attornies general

the actual noun is attorney so you take the plural of that--attornies--and then general is just an adjective to go after.
