Registering online to buy some shirts from Charles Tyrwhitt (Jermyn Street,
London) a couple nights ago, I came across a dropdown menu of titles to
select for myself that began with the usual "Mr, Mrs, Miss, Ms, Dr", and
then bloomed to "Admiral, Air Commodore, Baron, Baroness, Bishop", after
which it became positively stern and alternately noble: "Brigadier, Canon,
Captain, Colonel, Commander, Count, Countess, Dame, Deputy, Duke of, Earl,
Group Captain, HRH, His Excellency, Judge, Lady, Marchioness, The
Marchioness of, The Marquess of, Rear Admiral, Sergeant, Squadron Leader,
Vice Admiral, Viscount, Viscountess, Wing Commander".
I was tempted by "HRH", but chose "Ms". <sigh>
