How can sixteen years of school produce people not knowing the difference between alumni(plural) and alumnus(singular)? Won't even attempt the masculine/feminine discussion.
Sorry. This is my pet peeve of the day.

I prefer to drink out of a bottle but Alumnus is pretty good too.

"Alum(s)" is foolproof.

Boy, bring up something important and they scatter like roaches when the light comes on. Thanks for the replies boys, it's a good thing I didn't have to converse tonight with a woman on a PMS trip.
