  I would guess the change was made because they felt ladies and gentlemen does not account for non-binary genders

    does that matter when there don't appear to be any non-binary people in any of Roald Dahls works?

        Did you just assume their gender? (I'll see myself out.)

    they forgot the queers so it should have been "folx" in double-non-binary

  Goodness how could he assume that before asking their personal pronouns? /s
