Dear Miss Manners: I have formed the opinion (from multiple sources in literature, no doubt) that a manservant, particularly a butler or a chauffeur, is properly addressed by his surname, i.e. "Jeeves," "Hudson," "Cadmon," etc. etc., with no "Mr." preceding, and certainly no first name, by those he is serving, and "Mr. Jeeves/Hudson/Cadmon" by his colleagues. However, I recently watched a BBC program on the restoration and reopening of a grand London hotel, which offers "Butler Service" to selected guests, and their butlers refer to each other and are referred to by their first names only. I suppose one could ask the butler/valet/chauffeur how he wishes to be addressed, but I would so like to get off on the right foot and would not like to appear overly familiar. Please advis...
Fraudulent behavior by corporate directors is not a new problem and neither is the derivative action-the tool often used to address this problem. This article examines lead plaintiffs' fiduciary duties in derivative actions, including the duty to refrain from bringing meritless suits. Derivative actions can positively influence corporate America. These actions allow shareholders to bring a corporation's cause of action to fruition, even if the directors refuse to address the situation either because of self-interest or in order to protect fellow board members. Unfortunately, many courts, commentators, and much of the public do not view the shareholder derivative action in the positive light that they once did. In order to prevent a backlash against derivative actions that could effectiv...

It might have been the first piece of mail you got after your recent move. And if you're still unpacking, look for it. You can't miss it. It's the "welcome kit" from the U.S. Postal Service - stuffed into the mailboxes of tens of millions of Americans who have filled out change-of-address forms. The change-of-address confirmation letter comes in an official- looking USPS envelope with the words "verification required" and "do not discard," but it contains mostly ads and coupons from companies selling cellphone service, insurance, home security systems, appliances, mattresses, bottled water, banking services, electronics and other move-related products and services.

One would be tempted to say that the proponents of 'zie' and 'hir' are woefully naive Eurocentrics whose perspective is very white and Western, but in fact, the 'theory' (if one could call it that) underlying the use of gender-neutral pronouns doesn't make sense even in the context of Western European cultures. All Indo-European languages are gendered to some extent, but English is actually one of the least gendered of them. In contrast with the Romance languages, which require a gendered article to proceed (or, in the case of Romanian, follow) all objects and entities, English uses gender-neutral definite ('the') and indefinite ('a') articles. In French, a butterfly is masculine ('un papillon'), but in Spanish ('una mariposa') and in Italian ('una farfalla'), it is feminine - this, des...
