A bit overboard
I'm doing something I should have done long ago---signing up for every airline miles program in sight. (Why should I be on the losing side of the price discrimination?) Signing up for the United Airlines program, I noticed the little pull-down box for personal titles had more than the usual [Mr. Miss Mrs. Dr.] choice. A few dozen more choices in fact.
They've got you covered if you're a Duchess or a Baron. Insist on being refered to as Swami or Imam? No problem. But my favor is Fleet Admiral. How many of those can there be?
