Oh, great, encougage the harem boys in my head.

'Amusement bitches'? Is that, like, the female of a special breed of dog? ;o)

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Kinky!

How did I know it'd be either you or Ruth who'd make that joke?

[wibbble]

I suppose the opposite would be 'amusement butches'?

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

That would be ... me?

"Lord Surname" -- I think.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

So did I, but that looks so weird with the "Dear". I opted for the safe route and wrote "Dear Sir".

I'm at work! No boobies for you!

[jamaisneutral.livejournal.com]

do I get boobies though?

'Sir' is wrong, since a Lordship isn't the same as a Knighthood. Sometimes they can be really pissy about getting details correct - is it an actual Lord, or just 'Sir' Someone?

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Well, he only signed his first name, so I don't think he's the type to get pissy, but still. I just did a generic "Dear Sir", no first or last name, which seemed neutral enough.

He's an actual Lord, as in the House Of.

This is gonna bug me, now. I know the rules for everyone else (Sirs, Professor Sirs, Professor Dr Sirs, Rabbis, ...), but I've not yet had to deal with a Lord. Dammit!

Huh, well, I don't know what category he'd belong to, but it should be somewhere on this site:

There's quite the list of different types of Lords...

Dear Serena...
unless it's not to Ian Mckellen... in which case, don't bother!

The shortest thing of an opening I could find was "My Lord,"
But that hasn't been around for quite a while I presume:
