while we're at it, let's get rid of all this Miss/Mrs/Mr/Ms crap.
It wasn't much of a step to go from Miss/Mrs to Ms; after all,
the issue should be that gender is unimportant.  How about one
generic title for everyone?  For instance, M. Smith, M. Jones.
But that's flawed, it might be confused with Monsieur, a blatantly
sexist word.  From now on, we should all go by Mx, pronounced
"mix" or "mux."  This will make the world safe for democracy by
concealing our genders from the sexist element.
