[Pedant]No need for the s, MAMIL is plural[/plural]

[pedant]MAMIL can be singular or plural, and anyway it doesn't matter if MAMIL is used in the plural for a collective noun to apply.

For example:

One fish
Two fish
A shoal of fish

One MAMIL
Two MAMIL
A swarm of MAMIL [/pedant]

Boo-ya!

Surely it depends if MAMIL is an acronym for

Middle Aged Men In Lycra

or

Middle Aged Man In Lycra

?
