[net.nlang] Titles and names

jjm (12/13/82)

	A former co-worker of mine (is Kevin Thomas out there on the net?)
	used to wax poetic on the evolution of titles:

	Mr., Mrs., and Miss are too sexist, so we create
	Mr. and Ms., which is still sexist, so we create
	M. which discriminates against non-humans, and so on:

	Eventually we must use the honorific "Eon" (pronounced "yon")
	which stands for "entity or non-entity" therefore
	applying equally to all things, living or non-living,
	past, present, or future, real or imaginary.

	Satisfied?
