A new gender neutral title 'Mx' is to join the honorifics 'Mr, Mrs, Miss and Ms' on driving licences and other official documents, the first change to officially recognised titles in decades. Royal Mail, high street banks, government departments and some universities all now accept Mx which is used by transgender people or other individuals who do not identify with a particular gender. The title has been added, without fanfare, to official forms and databases and is under consideration by the Oxford English Dictionary for inclusion in its next edition. Thousands march at an LGBT parade: The change to commonly used titles has been welcome by leaders of the community Assistant editor of the dictionary, Johnathan Dent, was quoted by the Sunday Times as saying the move towards Mx was a sign of the English language's ability to adapt to an ever-changing society. He explained it was the first time in recent history that commonly used and accepted titles had changed. Mr Dent was quoted as saying it showed the way English could adapt to people's needs, rather than letting language dictate identity.

"Mx"?? Is this the Brits again?? Amazing how mentally ill queers and Muslim portion of the emasculated British population can control both the English language and its culture.

Over 2/3rds of total government spending in the UK goes to Welfare programs. Guess you can afford to do that when you have this great empire to draw from!! Oh wait, never mind the empire disappeared when the Welfare state expenditures skyrocketed...
Not sure about that. To read the British rags, ithe whole of the UK (and much of the world) is enthralled the the newly minted 'spare heir'.
