Crème de la stupid

Steve Irwin fans suspected of revenge attacks on stingrays.

On the other hand, I finally had a caller identify herself as "an alumna" of the university. (This after two in a row who described themselves as "an alumni".) She went on to add, "I have three degrees" and I was like, I bet you do! You also know what all those initials stand for, don't you?

Maybe the 'alumna' studies English, Latin and oh, what else? I don't know, I guess I just get bothered by all sorts of need to use "correct" Latin, when I speak English. On the other hand, I can see wanting to spell a title correctly... There's just no way I'm going to be pluralizing things correctly.

You don't need to; you can say "graduate" and avoid the whole issue. If you choose not to take the easy way out, then I think that gives me license to quibble.
