Bio

"We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here. We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred?" ~ Richard Dawkins

***
Mrs. is a traditional title of respect for a married or widowed woman. [in British-English, it is spelled "Missus".]
Ms. is a general title that does not indicate marital status but is still feminine; it can precede a woman's name or be used on its own as a form of address.
Miss is a traditional title used for an unmarried woman.
Mx. is a title that indicates neither marital status nor gender; it is gender-neutral and can be used for those genders that fall outside of the binary.
