Re: Sandman
sandman noun (the sandman). This implies the plural should be SANDMANS.

I have complained to OUP about several of these (e.g. ALDERPERSONS) and they said they would review them, so this may be fixed in the new (2010?) edition.

That's because it's not in JimDic. There are a few errors outstanding in it but according to the dictionary Susie should allow it.Karen Pearson wrote:
