You no doubt have heard that the honorific title Mx was recently (May 2015) added to the Oxford Dictionary online version. Since 2002 (thirteen years ago) I’ve been consistently using Mx or Mix for myself. On October 7, 2015 I made a blog post all about it at http://www.mixmargaret.com/blog and a YouTube video “New Mx title now in OED” at https://youtu.be/RoQ6yolk11M. Methinks there are some BIG and obvious mistakes in the OED’s definition.
I wonder if you agree? Perhaps you will add Mx and Mix to your Cambridge Dictionary? Feel free to post a comment with a link. Perhaps a reciprocal link?
Cheers,
