  Commodore and Admiral are a higher rank.

    Yes, but what have I done to get a promotion?

  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. We had to special-case it so that this one client got the huge list, while all other clients got the regular list.

    What if His Excellency Emmanuel Jean-Michel Frédéric Macron enrolls at that uni?

  This is how such a title picking menu looks like in Austria, in this case for the newsletter signup form of a supermarket chain:

    Should add “BSC, SSC”.

    As in bronze swimming certificate, silver swimming certificate.

    Somebody added that 80th title and still decided against just making it a free text field

    • Zwiebel@feddit.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      There are professors with more than two doctorates whose title is missing here…

      That’s how you get F.U.C.K.

    What the fuck.

  • RidderSport@feddit.org ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Well you Austrians still have a very weird hard-on for titles

  It is I, Intentionally Blank Tar_Alcaran.

• Sibbo@sopuli.xyz ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I like how you can actually leave it empty, or alternatively choose ‘intentionally blank’.

  source

  • OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I want my last name as Page and to pick Intentionally Blank.

    source

    • Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I wish I could be intentionally blank. I might do better at poker

  • Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Maybe it’s to be addressed as ✓ and they didn’t indent it properly?

    source
• ouRKaoS@lemmy.today ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Genuine Question:

  Is “Mx” a gender neutral version of Mr/Ms or something else?

  • gofsckyourself@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    It’s a DNS record used for denoting which email server to use. Short for Mail eXchange.

  • toynbee@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    You have, I’m sure unintentionally, reminded me of an old peer-to-peer sharing client.

  • Kaboom@reddthat.com ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Yes.

    source
• over_clox@lemmy.world ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  The letters are right in front of your face. It’s spelled Commodore.

  source

  • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Yeah well… (Fixed.)

    source

    • over_clox@lemmy.world ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      LOL, oopsie!

      Have a good day 👍

  I thought the one at the very bottom said “Bacon” for a second, and got really excited.

• remer@lemmy.world ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  As a viceroy, I am highly offended.

• thesohoriots@lemmy.world ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I’ll take Intentionally Blank for 400, Alex

  source
• wjrii@lemmy.world ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  LEFF-TENANT COMMODORE, I presume.

  • milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Now that they’re in England, it has to be.

    source
• OmegaLemmy@discuss.online ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  They should add ‘Emir’, ‘Pasha’ and ‘Bey’

  source

  • assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Paging user blade to adopt the title ‘Bey’

    source
• Ziglin@lemmy.world ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Very well Lt. Commodore Squid, requesting permission for count Ziglin to sip on the blood of commenter above me.

  source

  • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Granted, but only if you’re both into it.

    source
• Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  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.

• FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Professor Baroness Wessley

• pewpew@feddit.it ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I thought that was a password selection combo box

  source
• hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  What does the Engr mean?

  source

  • Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    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.

    source
  • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    No idea. Engineer?

    source

    • Holyginz@lemmy.world ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      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.
