    Yeah, like how is that any different from Mr or Monsieur President

    Because I’ve never heard a single person say Mo sieur President…

    I doubt she’d have complained about Mrs President when Mr President would have been used, but “President” is on its own most of the time

      Anyway, people should call people what they say they want to be addressed as, I suppose. I actually want to revise my previous incredulity and suffice it to say that if she prefers a specific title, defer to her preference on the matter. Its a silly thing for people to get upset about and it could be a bit of a double standard to be concerned about this.

      Its easier to ask permission than to have to redirect and ask for forgiveness in terms of what is proper and efficient and conducive to productive working relationships—hell, just relationships in general
