→‎To "Sir" or not to "Sir": Philip, I suggest looking up "consensus" in a dictionary
Line 185: Line 185:  
What relevance does a list of Americans with ''honorary'' knighthoods have to a debate about a non-American with a "real" knighthood?  People with ''honorary'' knighthoods are ''not entitled to use the title "sir"''.

Ed, I don't consider a person's title part of their name, yet I've ''often'' seen others refer to them that way, saying things like "his name is Rev. Smith" and the like.  So often, in fact, that I've sometimes wondered if I am right to make the distinction.

: Philip, I suggest looking up "consensus" in a dictionary. What is your position now, that "sir" should always be used with men who got real knighthoods, but not with those who got honorary knighthoods? How about Elton John and Paul McCartney? My position is that the title is inappropriate for an encyclopedia based outside of England. [[User:RSchlafly|RSchlafly]] 12:10, 8 July 2007 (EDT)
