How to spell ALUMNIST correctly?

If you are trying to refer to a singular graduate of an institution, the correct term is "alumnus" for a male and "alumna" for a female. To denote multiple graduates, use "alumni" for a mixed gender group or "alumnae" for an all-female group. Avoid using the non-existent term "alumnist" to ensure accuracy.
