    There are very few common words/expressions that use plural postpositive adjective. To add to what NephewAlphaBravo said - "wrong" will sound right to most Americans. The average American reads at a sixth grade level.

    A correct form is "attorneys general" but that's rare. The average American would say "attorney generals".

      Not "correct", just formal/academic. Down with proscriptive grammar!

      I just do it randomly for fun if the singular is a double noun. Suns day. Generals Store. It's very silly. I giggle inside.

      Sergeants Major is another one that always sounded funny to me
