Dear Preet, I enjoyed your Q&A regarding "Attorneys General." If "general" is an adjective (from French), why have we seen characters in TV shows, like Billions, a reliable legal authority, refer to an AG using the nickname "General?" Do people really call AGs "General," and if so, is that improper?
