What's new

DNC

Even though I don't plan to vote for Hillary, I did get a tear in my eye when she accepted the nomination. Historic moment I never thought I'd see. It wasn't hardly even thought of when I was a child. Girls didn't answer the question of what they wanted to be when they grew up with "President of the USA." It seemed too ridiculous to contemplate. I was proud last night. "We've come a long way, baby."

Let's say Hillary is elected.... do we call her Mrs. President?

I love that we are getting the chance to contemplate such things. I'd go with "Ms. President."

Good call..


When we had a female Prime Minister in Thailand 4-5 years ago (Mrs. Yingluck), she changed her name such that people were forced to call her "Miss Yingluck" instead of "Mrs. Yingluck" even though she was already married... all to avoid the stigma that came with the "Mrs." prefix.

Luckily in English we have the option of Ms.

It's not a matter of luck. The option of Ms. was invented just a few decades ago. You could invent a similar word in Thailand.
