I didn't realize until this afternoon that in traditional D&D, you had magic staffs. STAFFS. Therefore, I cannot thank you all at Paizo enough for making it "Staves", which is the real plural (technically staffs can be correct, but technically nauseous can mean feeling nauseated, so it's retarded).
Thus, if someone at Paizo could tell me who suggested this change I will literally send them a box of cookies. but I need to know who came up with the idea first.

Actually, in traditional D&D it was staves. It got changed to staffs in 3e, IIRC. But yeah, it's a pet peeve of the entire editorial staff, so go ahead and send that box of cookies to:
Paizo Publishing
Editorial Department

By "traditional D&D" I meant non-PRPG D&D; I always thought it was staves, and this was likely supported by my original brief stint with 2nd edition.
I should be sending them off within the week, but they might take a while to get there (opposite coasts).Callous Jack |

Now the question is, will Mike tell anyone else in the department when the cookies arrive?

I mean! Yes, of course.

Ah, but you could instead address it to Accounting. We are known for our fairness in apportioning all things.
Mmmm...cookies for accounting...

Our accounting staff and our editorial staff are among our favorite staves.

Everyone knows, of course, that the correct plural of "human" is "hyoo-minz". A perfectly cromulent word that is quite underused, if you asked me.
Mr. Keegan, I sincerely feel your post embiggens not only this thread, but all posters on this message board. Anyone who disagrees clearly doesn't know their behind from their Bzooty.

If you don't like the word "staffs", you may wish to avert your eyes on page 144 of the Alpha 3 rules...
