Category talk:Alumni of the University of Cambridge

[Untitled]
Can we change the title from "alumni" to "members" which is at least correct? There are plenty of people who find the term alumnus offensive (in Latin it means someone who has suckled a wet nurse's breasts rather than their mother's doesn't it? - I am no Latin expert but that is the common complaint) and most of the people who do find it offensive probably went to Cambridge. I know it is widely used in the US but people should not be forced into a category which they do not recognise// --BozMo talk 17:31, 28 June 2012 (UTC)


 * There's nothing incorrect about "alumni" as used in English. What the word means in Latin is irrelevant. The main objections have been the term was used more in the US than elsewhere but nowadays that's much changed. And the Cambridge Alumni Relations Office have no problem using it.
