Says who? You? Are you the arbiter of language?
I’ll call you Mrs. I’ll call you Mr. But the rest, nuh uh.
Really? Not even Ms.? Because I imagine a lot of younger women would feel pretty insulted by you calling them Mrs.

Oh you. Of course that would incluse Ms. :D

Why “of course?” Again, are you the arbiter of language?
kitnaht@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I simply follow the rules, I don’t attempt to change them and force everyone else to follow mine.

What rules? Where do these rules come from? Who codified them? Can you please show me where they are laid out?
