Learned friends, I keep hearing the word "faculty" used to refer to individual 
members of a faculty thus, "Ritchie, you wise and learned faculty, you, what 
are your thoughts?"  Is there possibly a feminist wrinkle here?  Have I blinked 
and so missed an argument about taking "member" out?  Or is the case just like 
"media" being used as a single noun, an error that seems to be winning?
