That’s up to you, I much prefer Mrs. Ms. feels somehow condescending to me.

Correct. I didn’t say there was an r sound, but that it was going off of the spelling. I agree there’s no r sound.

That came later though, as in “I had dinner with the Mrs last night.”

Mrs. originally comes from mistress, which is why it retains the r.

I don’t, but it’s abbreviated with one.

But it could be the spelling of one of their contacts’ names

Middle school me would have taken advantage and proven them very wrong

I know there’s no logic, but it’s funny to imagine it’s because it’s pronounced Mrs. Sippy

Probably more drownings though :(

That falls apart when vaccines are no longer approved or available

Okay, wow. He’s an attorney, which means he’s a Juris Doctor, so that’s basically like being a regular doctor. Plus he’s had a ton of parasites, so he gets it.

I think your server might contain a hint as to why…

Not that you’re necessarily Canadian or in Canada, but you probably get more Canadian-centric posts on your local feed.

I did a deep dive into their Wikipedia pages, and these are the only two members where it’s mentioned. The band history is dramatic af though, and someone documented it very well, if you’re ever stuck for something to read in a waiting room

And I used it

Correct, but I’m evaluating this from the defendant’s perspective. If you want to consider this a neutral development until you’re able to evaluate the facts of the case, that’s your prerogative. If you find them, I’d be interested in reading them.

I’ve worked in insurance companies for long term bodily injury claims, they wanted that from the start. The mistrial allowed them to get it.

That's was up to the plaintiff, not the judge.

Yes, and their position was worsened by him being a good doctor. That feels like a win to me.

Yeah, I couldn’t fit all of the relevant info in the title without making it incomprehensible

I would absolutely consider ending a lawsuit with a negotiation instead of a negative judgment to be a win. Obviously the jury pool would have been biased in favor of the doctor, but they could have requested a new jury.

I knew the lead singer had a phd in molecular biology, but how good a story would this be to tell at a party? He must have felt so vindicated.
