      Wow, did you rub all 3 brain cells together to come up with that? Your mommy must be so proud.

      I work with military and the more conservative ones are removed-made and demand to use the properly gendered honorific. Seeing CPT CUMBRAIN as the sign-off on an email doesn’t let you know how to address them. Commissioned officers get called either sir or ma’am, and some will turn into cry baby removed if you don’t get it right. They love their pronouns.

        I mean… Those kinds of officers could do with being bothered every now and then. It’s like with cats. If you let the officers go without shenanigans they get arrogant. I think the appropriate rate is something like 1 bothering per 6 months for every 20 specialists under them? That seems harsh but really good specialists can bother their entire chain of command in one go!
