Jan, I don't remember seeing the answer to the following anywhere, so forgive me if I missed it. What is the acceptable use of the plural for genius? The word, Geniuses, does not have the right "ring."

Thanks,

Lillian

It's geniuses.

In context:

Jan and Lillian were geniuses; they figured out how to solve Rubik's cube in twenty minutes.
