Yes, but what have I done to get a promotion?
Being awesome got you ranked up
I am turning down the commission! It doesn't sound as cool!
I used to work for an Australian company that produced HR software - recruitment, 360 reviews, etc. Our job application form had a fairly standard list of titles (Mr, Mrs, Miss, Mr, Dr, and maybe one or two others) that nearly all clients were happy with. However, a university asked us to add maybe 60 more, much like the list in this screenshot. Some understandable for a university (things like "Prof" or a suffix of "Ph.D.") and some... less understandable (Colonel, Lieutenant, General, Father, Capitan, Sir, The Honourable, ...)
The customer is always right... We had to add a "huge list of titles" feature flag to the system, that was only enabled for this one client. All other clients were fine with the standard list.
Sounds like a university I know - brilliant and accomplished people, very proud of it, to the point of projecting that pride on everyone else and assume everyone must hold their full title as dear as they do. The idea of one of my teachers, some "First Name, Baron of Examplington-Doublename", telling us to just call him "Mr. Examplington" would have shorted out their brains.
For all their laudable competencies, humility was not among them.
(Not in Australia, but I imagine it's hardly exclusive.)
This is how such a title picking menu looks like in Austria, in this case for the newsletter signup form of a supermarket chain:
Should add "BSC, SSC".
As in bronze swimming certificate, silver swimming certificate.
Somebody added that 80th title and still decided against just making it a free text field
There are professors with more than two doctorates whose title is missing here..
That's how you get F.U.C.K.
Yeah.. what a shame. These poor tortured souls have to settle for Dipl. Ass. instead.
What the fuck.
Well you Austrians still have a very weird hard-on for titles
I like how you can actually leave it empty, or alternatively choose 'intentionally blank'.
I want my last name as Page and to pick Intentionally Blank.
I wish I could be intentionally blank. I might do better at poker
Maybe it's to be addressed as ✓ and they didn't indent it properly?
It is I, Intentionally Blank Tar_Alcaran.
Genuine Question:
Is "Mx" a gender neutral version of Mr/Ms or something else?
It's a DNS record used for denoting which email server to use. Short for Mail eXchange.
You have, I'm sure unintentionally, reminded me of an old peer-to-peer sharing client.
Yes.
I thought the one at the very bottom said "Bacon" for a second, and got really excited.
As a viceroy, I am highly offended.
LEFF-TENANT COMMODORE, I presume.
Now that they're in England, it has to be.
Like a binary star system, the UK and the US will do an eternal dance to see who can troll the French the most with mangling the loanwords. The Brits win this one.
They should add 'Emir', 'Pasha' and 'Bey'
Paging user blade to adopt the title ‘Bey’
The letters are right in front of your face. It's spelled Commodore.
Yeah well... (Fixed.)
LOL, oopsie!
Have a good day 👍
Very well Lt. Commodore Squid, requesting permission for count Ziglin to sip on the blood of commenter above me.
Granted, but only if you're both into it.
I’ll take Intentionally Blank for 400, Alex
Professor Baroness Wessley
Oh, but I make people call me "Sire." Lord is so new-fangled and casual.
Or I used to, back when I had friends. I'm not sure where they all went.
I thought that was a password selection combo box
What does the Engr mean?
I’ve never encountered “Engr” before and don’t know where it comes from but “Eur Ing” is for Engineers in the European Federation of National Engineering Associations. You can have this title on a UK passport - well, until very recently you could. May have changed.
No idea. Engineer?
That's my guess. But I'll say that as an engineer I can't imagine that as a title someone would actually use when they addressed me.
Maybe because it can be a military job? Like subs have engineers... just a wild guess.
Ahhh ok that actually makes sense.
