I am profoundly unable to take seriously anyone who calls themself a “lord”. What time period are these people from?
- advisedwang 8y agoRight up until 1999 this was a meaningful position with actual political power. Even now, non-hereditary lords comprise the upper chamber of parliament. Being a Lord in the UK is more or less equivalent to being a US senator.
- infradig 8y agoMy preferred personal pronoun is "lord". Pretty soon it will be required that people call me "lord" or I will get offended and take them to whatever human rights commision is appropriate.
