I WANT AMUSEMENT BITCHES!

ETA: Okay, how the fuck do you write an e-mail to a Lord? "Dear Sir Firstname, right? No? Yes?

'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?

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...
