Very well Lt. Commodore Squid, requesting permission for count Ziglin to sip on the blood of commenter above me.
Granted, but only if you’re both into it.
Genuine Question:
Is “Mx” a gender neutral version of Mr/Ms or something else?
It’s a DNS record used for denoting which email server to use. Short for Mail eXchange.
Yes.
I’ll take Intentionally Blank for 400, Alex
Professor Baroness Wessley
It is I, Intentionally Blank Tar_Alcaran.
The letters are right in front of your face. It’s spelled Commodore.
Yeah well… (Fixed.)
LOL, oopsie!
Have a good day 👍
I like how you can actually leave it empty, or alternatively choose ‘intentionally blank’.
I want my last name as Page and to pick Intentionally Blank.
I wish I could be intentionally blank. I might do better at poker
Maybe it’s to be addressed as ✓ and they didn’t indent it properly?
They should add ‘Emir’, ‘Pasha’ and ‘Bey’
Paging user blade to adopt the title ‘Bey’
I thought the one at the very bottom said “Bacon” for a second, and got really excited.
Oh, but I make people call me “Sire.” Lord is so new-fangled and casual.
Or I used to, back when I had friends. I’m not sure where they all went.
What does the Engr mean?
I’ve never encountered “Engr” before and don’t know where it comes from but “Eur Ing” is for Engineers in the European Federation of National Engineering Associations. You can have this title on a UK passport - well, until very recently you could. May have changed.
No idea. Engineer?
That’s my guess. But I’ll say that as an engineer I can’t imagine that as a title someone would actually use when they addressed me.
Maybe because it can be a military job? Like subs have engineers… just a wild guess.
Ahhh ok that actually makes sense.
Commodore and Admiral are a higher rank.
Yes, but what have I done to get a promotion?
Being awesome got you ranked up
I am turning down the commission! It doesn’t sound as cool!
as any other officer rank youd already be commissioned
I thought that was a password selection combo box
I used to work for an Australian company that produced HR software - recruitment, 360 reviews, etc. We had a fairly standard list of titles (Mr, Mrs, Miss, Mr, Dr, and maybe one or two others) that nearly all clients were happy with. However, a university asked us to add maybe 60 more, much like the list in this screenshot. Some understandable for a university (things like “Prof” or a suffix of “Ph.D.”) and some… less understandable (Colonel, Lieutenant, General, Father, Capitan, Sir, The Honourable, …)
The customer is always right… We had to add a “huge list of titles” feature flag to the system, that was only enabled for this one client. All other clients were fine with the standard list.
What if His Excellency Emmanuel Jean-Michel Frédéric Macron enrolls at that uni?
As a viceroy, I am highly offended.
