bought an Oyster card online last week, so that I was prepared when I arrived in London village later today.
The application form asked for my Title. Options were:
- Miss
- Dr
- Mr
- Mrs
- Ms
- Prof
- Other
Naturally, I selected “Other”. But there was then no-where to enter my actual title, my “other” title.
So last week I received a letter addressed to “Other Gareth Saunders”.
While I’m here
Who on earth ordered that list?! How about the male-centric ordering of:
- Mr
- Mrs
- Miss
- Ms
- Dr
- Prof
- Other
Or the ladies-go-first option of:
- Ms
- Miss
- Mrs
- Mr
- Dr
- Prof
- Other
Or even the mostly-alphabetical but turns out to be partly hierarchical (by placing Other at the end):
- Dr
- Miss
- Mr
- Mrs
- Ms
- Prof
- Other
Go on then – descending order of expected frequency as well 🙂
