00 Attorney General can be abbreviated to AG. Likewise, Solicitor General or Witch Finder General can be abbreviated to SG and WFG respectively. When one AG meets with another AG the correct grammar is 01 i 00 Attorney 01 font 00 s 02 font 00 General, 02 i 00 with the correct abbreviation being 01 i 00 AsG 02 i 00 . This is the same with the other two (and others): 01 i 00 Solicitor 01 font 00 s 02 font 00 General (S 01 font 00 s 02 font 00 G) 02 i 00 and 01 i 00 Witch Finder 01 font 00 s 02 font 01 font 00 02 font 00 General (WF 01 font 00 s 02 font 00 G). 02 i 02 br
