npub1z3z3lj58k4es528u5j6zw6h29qmrudma57v0598r8u22m7dnlx9sq4vzgc (npub1z3z…vzgc) Yes, I think the dorm incident was quite some decades ago now.
I wonder if the increasing casualness of modern communication also has its effect. Even in relatively formal epistolary contexts I am addressed as "Deborah" not "Mrs Makarios" (number of corporations with which I am genuinely on a first name basis: 0) and seldom does a plain Mr/Ms/Mrs/Miss appear in an email signature.
One might be perceived as stuffy if one did, but why? It provides much the sane gender information as a pronoun, and provides the preferred honorific at the same time. Not that honorifics get much use these days. I wonder why?
You've got me thinking now!
