oh no absolutely no. if there is one thing i will not do it's police how people from countries without something as insane as a nobility arrange the words in conjunctions that include "sir" and "lord" and even "keir"
if there is one traditional aspect of being American I live by, it’s absolutely refusing to acknowledge or play along with British royalty and nobility bullshit
To be fair the U.S. predilection to call people by a position they no longer hold is equally baffling to me.
“President Trump” “General Petraeus” etc.
But why is it only the President who gets that?
I mean, why shouldn’t Director of Waste Disposal of The State of Wisconsin, (or whatever the official title is) not get the badge for life?
Unfortunately the US does this for a lot of titles (you'll see lots of "Ambassador Haley", "Governor Christie", etc, but they are all /former/ officeholders. But stylebooks should reject it)
One of the things America was absolutely right about is that does not need, and should outright reject state-awarded titles of nobility. And so we should reject these too. If you are in the hot-seat in the oval office, congratulations Mr President. The day you leave, it should be just goodbye, Mr.
