→To "Sir" or not to "Sir": I think that "Sir" is a lot less meaningful and relevant than "Dr" or "Rev"
::Thomas Jefferson referred to Sir Isaac Newton by his title, in a letter written on February 25, 1809 to the French author Monsieur Gregoire (''The Writings of Thomas Jefferson'' (H. A. Worthington, ed.), Volume V, p. 429), where he writes: ''Because Sir Isaac Newton was superior to others in understanding, he was not therefore lord of the person or property of others.'' If it was good enough for Jefferson, it's surely good enough for Conservapedia.--[[User:Britinme|Britinme]] 09:45, 6 July 2007 (EDT)

::: I think that "Sir" is a lot less meaningful and relevant than "Dr" or "Rev". Most readers have no idea what would qualify someone to acquire the title of "Sir". But even if I agreed with you, CP and other encyclopedias do not even usually use "Dr" and "Rev".
