I bet Lorna Trout is gutted.

I bet Lorna Trout is gutted.

Is that Mrs or Ms Trout?

And only on cycle chat can you be harangued...

Hang on, Canucks, you were the one who started the title pedantry. If you're going to be pedantic, best to be correct.

Shouldn't that be Ms Canucks, or is Mrs ok?

There's no proven correct here, just a higher or lower likelihood of being correct. I'll leave you to work out which camp I'm very firmly in.

I'm done on this by the way, can't believe a minor humourous comment (see smiley in case it wasn't obvious enough) provokes this kind of PC rebuke. If you want to reply back, well done on winning one internets.

Ouch. Its "miss" I think.

 

[snorri]

Ahem. It's Mrs Shand.

I thought the trick was to type Ms. when there was Miss/Mrs uncertainty, but I wouldn't have even seen this topic had it been in the sporting section where it surely belongs .

No indeed. A thread to show our respects to Jo, which begins by showing her absolutely no respect at all

And, indeed, none to OP!

 

[3narf]

Yes, she'll be missed.

As the peripheral conversations around this topic seem to be more important, I think it's hilarious how athletes and celebs adopt double-barrelled names. Still, I suppose only one generation can do it, the example of our German royal family notwithstanding.

So the Rosswell ladies cycling team has retired, because one of them is getting married?

It's "humorous".

Genuine tribute from me. Awesomely fast. Awesomely precise in her track riding. Awesomely nice. Awesomely beautiful. I will miss her.

I'll second all of that.

Have you noticed how she's never seen at the same time as Vicki Pollard?
