A fine effort indeed, but marks off for the obvious choices they're missing.

"Archbishop?" "Rabbi and Mr?" "Inspector?"

...Hello!



Hmph.

It's not even close to complete. They don't even include "His Holiness". I mean, it's always possible that the Pope or the Dalai Lama will come see a show at Stratford. C'mon, people!

Well, they do have "Mrs and Ms" as an option - surely that is for the lesbo couples out there!

[beartalon.livejournal.com]

What about the "known as " people?

[dr-tectonic.livejournal.com]

No "Academician"?

Harrumpf, I say!

I've seen longer lists, but they were properly researched, and normalized (no X and Y titles for couples). This one looks like it was culled from an existing database, where wives do sometimes have more education (Dr. and Mr.) but not always.

I notice that there are some same-sex pairings (Mr. and Mr.) This was heartening until I noticed Mrs. & Miss, a sure sign of a mother-daughter subscription.

All those choices for titles, but only two gender options?!

They also get points off for "Mr. & Dr."; that's backwards, as I understand the rules for these things.

When you order a Boden catalog, they give you British nobility and military options for title. My catalogs are addressed to "The Duchess of" - I couldn't resist.

I always love the title "Very Reverend". I see two priests debating about which one is reverender than the other...
