"Sts" is a remarkably ill-looking way to abbreviate "Saints" (or 'Saint... and Saint...'), and you would think that a mediaevalist, even in the field of gender studies, would know and use the conventional "S.S."

I'm turning into the most horrendous pedant, aren't I?

Pedantry is the spice of life! Or something like that. Anyway, I sympathize.

There's nothing horrendous about being pedantic :-)

(Unless, of course, you're more pedantic than me ;-))

Do we know each other in RL, BTW?
