What about the people who often have DDoD, OCIS, NCIS, CCNA, CCNP, A+, Ph.D, MA, MBA, BA, BS, K12, SCRUMDIDDLYUMPTIOUS after their names? Can we get rid of title abuse then never focus on pronouns?

App can go except for "SCRUMDIDDLYUMPTIOUS". Because that one is SCRUMDIDDLYUMPTIOUS!

Man, I spent a lot of money and time for my post-nominals, I don't care if they're 100% irrelevant to what I do, they're getting used in every god damn email.

(Helps that I only have one, though. And to be clear, I am happy to vehemently argue this point for months/years to steal focus from pronouns).
