sionnach commented on the list i-d-be-honoured-to-do-this-list
perhaps: "your excellency", "your eminence" (applies to cardinals)

Thanks. I'm glad your eminence doesn't apply to rap singers.

sionnach commented on the list i-d-be-honoured-to-do-this-list
If you meet a bishop, I believe the correct honorific is "your grace".
December 4, 2007
bilby commented on the list i-d-be-honoured-to-do-this-list
Hmmm, sounds familiar. Still, there must be someone eminent enough to be Your Eminence so I'll leave that in.

How about his holiness the Dalai Lama?
If you're going to include Japanese honorifics like -san, have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_titles.

The Lama has been granted an audience, thanks for sending him around. I had a look at the Japanese situation a while back. I don't pretend this to be an internationally inclusive list, I'm just bower-birding in classic Wordie fashion! I put some of the Chinese ones in there because the social relationships they relate to are intriguing. -san is in because I had an endearing Japanese flatmate for a while and it was part of our everyday conversations.

I believe your eminence is the proper way to greet a cardinal of the Catholic church. Cool list, bilby!
Are you opposed to Mister (or Madame) President? Ambassador?
edit: just saw sionnach's first comment--sorry, I was responding to bilby's (surely tongue-in-cheek...?) comment about there being "somebody" eminent enough, blah blah...

Bilby, that is a magnificent description of what Wordies do! (And I like this list, too.)

Plenty of scope for someone to do a list of military/police ranks and titles. I have a few of the common ones, must be lots more.

bilby commented on the list i-d-be-honoured-to-do-this-list
Any more suggestions? I finally have something useful to do with this list so the betterer it is the superduperer the other thing..

Thank you.

Marky, just the nerd I was looking for! Is there any (easy...I wish) way to strip the words out of a Wordnik list as plain text? Without all the other guff that's on the page? i.e. I would like to convert lists to textfiles with one word/phrase per line, and that's it.

marky commented on the list i-d-be-honoured-to-do-this-list
yeah that was something we had before, i need to email Erin about that. export list to file. let me check!

I have duly added it, Your Excellency.

Can you steal anything from my antonomasia list?
January 17, 2013
bilby commented on the list i-d-be-honoured-to-do-this-list
I could, but every time someone says antonomasia I start singing the word to the tune of Guantanamera and get nothing done all day. Yo soy un hombre sincero!
