    Yes, but they are winning against the WOKEMINDVIRUS, which was obviously having so much impact on their personal lives…

      But now they’ve been saved from the scourge of, umm, people who put pronouns in their email signature.

        Next they’ll come for Mr. Ms. and Mrs.

        You know, I just noticed: there’s no “r” in missus, so abbreviating it “Mrs” doesn’t really make sense. Maybe it’s supposed to be a possessive, like Mr’s, rather than an actual gender signifier.

          The abbreviations Mr. and Mrs. derive from master and mistress, respectively. Over time we’ve kinda lazily shortened the pronunciation from mistress to missus but kept the abbreviation.
