Mx

[securespark]

I ordered some sandals from Cosyfeet.

I have bought several pairs and the title I used on all orders was Mister (Mr).

Today, I received a mailing from them addressed Mx. Why would they do this when I am on their dbase as Mr?

Even more mystifying is that on the reverse of the letter is an order form where "Mx" isn't even an option.

By trying to appease a minority of customers they risk alienating others. I don't think I will be buying from them again.

What a load of nonsense.

Screaming woke nonsense.

I would contact them to amend your profile to Mr. As some companies sell their customer listings to other companies so you could end up with a pile of junk mail addressed to Mx.

It's a gender neutral address.
It wouldn't bother me in the slightest to be addressed as such a gender neutral honorific.

How is it pronounced? (no pun intended)

Didn't you mean "addressed as such a gender neutral horrific"

As an aside, when did you last have your eyes checked, @securespark?

That would worry me,....... that people would address me as an adjective, unless it was something to do with a legend.
Say something like Mx, the legendary.......

There was an American ICBM called MX in about the 1980s, if memory serves.

Why should you bother taking your time to tell them? He didn't ask them to change the salutation. Just don't use them again and move on
