At least this isn't as bad as a sign I saw in the window of a suburban multi-screen movie complex:
THIS IS A NON-SMOKING FACULTY. Ah, the ubiquitous spell-checker leads another faculty astray: common sense. David Ritchie wrote:
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?
