I'll try to leave comments on with word verification and no approval from me unless I see things going south. In a bad way, that is.
I've had one direct complaint and one indirect one and that shouts as the voice of millions to me, so I listen to my public.
We just had email going around work about notaries and one woman kept insisting on calling them pubic notaries. I just don't want to think about that. Shudder.

You gotta be joking, even Jersey has to be better than that.
No, actually, she lives in South Carolina and works remotely.
There are several kinds of notaries. For almost all of the other types, the modifier comes before notary, like "civil law notary". I had heard the term "public notary" in the civil law and common law classes, I suppose to differentiate it from civil law notaries.
According to Wikipedia, "public notary" is acceptable, although "notary public" is preferred.
I wonder if some people put public first because otherwise they don't know how to make it plural?
*I* am a Notary Public. PUBLIC.
I used to work with a woman who called Volvos "vulvas". Nobody had the heart to correct her.
But every time I saw a Volvo commercial I'd shudder.
