Things that make you go What the F**k?

[AustinPowers]

Where do you stand  on the wife not taking the husbands  surname?

Or  the husband taking the wife's surname?

If the wife's name is sexier then yeah 

A lot of double barrel names now, but who gets their name first wins

See that's another issue. Who  goes first in a double barrrelled name?  

[Armagh18]

I always thought Ms was when a lady was married now not,

Finally learnt something from this godforsaken place 😝😝

Could be used in that context too I think

[tonto1888]

Where do you stand  on the wife not taking the husbands  surname?

Woke nonsense

really? What does it actually matter?

Come on now, you have to show society that this woman is your chattel

Sorry that was meant to be tongue in cheek.

 I wouldn't be taking another name but wouldnt be madly bothered if I was getting married and she didn't.

I haven't a problem calling someone by their chosen name, but a pronoun such as 'them' when it is a singular person in front of me, no way.

Why? What difference does it make to you? I don't understand the reason someone would choose pronouns for themselves but who am I to say they shouldn't just because I am content with how I'm addressed? And if using a different word makes life easier for them and makes sh1te all difference to me, why would I choose to not do that?

We all call people things they want us to call them.

Every single one of us knows a Paddy, Marty, Jim, Des and so on.

When did Ms instead of Miss or Mrs start?

When you are talking about them, say them, not he or she.

It takes more effort to be outraged.

Miss is a young girl, Ms a single adult lady, Mrs a married lady. Learned that in English Language in school to address letters.

Not sure that is correct.

Miss is unmarried. Mrs is married. Ms is mind your own business.

But the point is. There has always been complexity around how people chose to be addressed. Ask your mate Jim. Or his wife Ms Murphy. Them is just another one. The difference is bigotry.

[Genocide Organ]

Think 'Ms.' is often used as a fudge between 'Miss' and 'Mrs.' so that a woman's marital status is unclear?

[Wildweasel74]

Ms was previously married

Is it really? Them is plural. Believe it or not however open minded people try to be, it is a bit of a jump addressing one person in the plural.

I was talking to Jim the other day. They asked about you.

Again. Not sure that is the only usage.

But regardless, we all call people something they ask to be called. Why is this one controversial?

Miss is 100% for younger girls. Adults Ms/Mrs

[J70]

But again, when are you going to be directly addressing someone as "them"?

It will either be their name or "you".

And just there, in that previous sentence, I used "their' in a perfectly traditional manner to refer to a single third person.
