WILL ANYONE PLEAD GUILTEE?

WHERE did the compiler of the chart on school-board petitions in the Aug. 2 Roanoke Times & World-News find the term ``signee''? Was staff writer Laura Williamson responsible?

(Oops! To follow your rule for suffixes, I should have said ``compilee`` and ``writee.'')

What is wrong with the plain English word ``signer,'' as in ``signer of the Declaration of Independence''?
