sglad Posted April 23, 2017 Author Posted April 23, 2017 No , it's not, the same way nothing is wrong with collecting stamps or sharing receipts for best strawberry cheescake. Just probability of having captive audience for fans of those here is low. Fair enough if you need a captive audience. But not everyone is 100% gay just as not everyone is interested in silverdaddy porn. Some people might be bi or bi-curious; and bi threesomes and sexual fluidity seem to be getting more common among people in my generation and I've had a few of those. Shock! Horror! Quote
PeterRS Posted April 24, 2017 Posted April 24, 2017 Although I expect few are interested, I was discussing a man who had changed his first name to Lord only so that would appear on his passport etc. He was just a member of the common herd like you and me. So how anyone addressed him in conversation is immaterial. Somehow I doubt that the Duke of Devonshire has as the name on his passport His Grace Peregrine Andrew Morny Cavendish, 12th Duke of Devonshire (yes that was copied from somewhere)! Not sure about Singapore passports but there isnt nearly enough space on a UK passport LOL Quote
abidismaili Posted April 24, 2017 Posted April 24, 2017 Not quite right. They are generically referred to as "lords" being members of the peerage. Barons, viscounts, earls and marquesses are formally addressed as "My Lord" but dukes are in a special category, being just one step below the monarch and immediate royal family and are formally addressed as "Your Grace". A duke is not addressed as Lord XYZ; the appropriate style is the Duke of XYZ. Of course some dukes are members of the royal family for eg the Duke of Cambridge which carry the royal title HRH. A-level English lit. Check the source you copy-and-pasted from, Stalker. By the way, in case it wasn't clear, I'm very impressed by your "knowledge" and its relevance to this thread. Five more copy-and-paste paragraphs, please. You even can be entitled to 'Lord' if you are not a peer but the son of a peer. You can carry by courtesy one of the subsidiary titles of your father. So while not legally having the title, in daily usage you are allowed to use it and they style yourself 'Lord". Then there are also lord of the manor titles. You can buy them even. But then your name is not "Lord X" but "Lord of X" Quote
