  • Per Debretts, it has been this way since at least the 1700s, not an “American” thing as you suggest. I’m starting to think this is just another social issue used to divide America, ie propaganda used to control people. And if it is purely preference in etiquette, what are you complaining about? The person sending the letter are allowed to exercise their etiquette preferences as well, right? Or do you also want to control people? Is this all just the fascists on the right vs the facisists on the left? This is how people like Trump rise to populisim, and how freedom and democracy die.






  • It is the most correct way. Even if she didn’t take your name, and even if your not married, she is your Mrs. Not sure why this would be infuriating, it’s the language.

    Edit: honesty, the replies below are sexist and masogonistic. Yes, the women that you married is your Mrs, it’s the definition of the word. And likewise the man that you married is your Mr, for the same reason. It does not matter whether either party changes their name, it applies either way.

    To suggest that marriage is ownership rather than partnership is disgusting, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Did slaves get referred to as Mrs. (slave owner)? No, they did not. Your suggestion is entirely inappropriate, and takes away from the reality that slaves had to live with. Disgusting misappropriation!

    Grow up people, you can’t change the language to reflect your personal biases, insecurities and misunderstandings.



  • OK, I read it, same as you because you just listed the only 3 things on the list, and then you embellished the employee abuse as sexual although there are no accusations, and embellished the epstein child raping thing as there is no implications there either. Epstein was extremely politically connected, I hate it too but his circles were huge and not entirely centered around the south Florida human Trafficking between Maralago and his island at a minimum.

    But OK, gates is just as bad as Trump and musk













  • Hisense U75K was $900+tax at Costco last Xmas, and I have been very happy with it. It actually has really good sound even, with a built in subwoofer. I am using it without any additional soundbar or surround sound system, and I am picky about sound. So you don’t need to spend any extra money for sound. I have set up many fancy home theaters in the past and love the simplicity. The picture is great, probably not as good as OLED but I wouldn’t know, so blissfully happy. U65K was $700 I think, same subwoofer/sound, if you can’t fit a 75".
