Steeling Myself Against The Inevitable Shitstorm Of Abuse And/Or Apathy

[zaphod]

What a coincidence! Many people call me a grammar Nazi.

But for the none of you who are interested, and courtesy of Whitaker's Almanac (and not Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable as I first thought), the correct form of address for a Duchess is Your Grace (in conversation) or Her Grace (as in: Her Grace, the Duchess of Mock).

If I were writing a formal letter to a duchess, though, the correct salutation would (ironically!) be Dear madam.

Isn't this fun? And educational?

(LONG and VERY silent pause …)

Oh. Just me, then. >sigh<
