    Collective Noun for X-Markers?

    Matt Newsome, in another post (http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/g...719#post723719) suggested that we may need to have a collective noun to describe a group of X-Markers. While we sometimes describe ourselves as a rabble, I'm not sure that a Rabble Of X-Markers really describes a collective group. Likewise gaggle, flock, herd etc are not really descriptive nouns that I would like to see applied to us.

    So have at it! My 2c is an Exemption of X-Markers.

    The O.P. has what I have been using: A GROUP of X-Marks, a GROUP of X-Markers. An assemblage of the rabble. An assemblage of X-Marks members. A gathering of the X-Markers....
    Although we do have to be careful, as X-Marks is the new name being used by Foxmarks....
