Who knows what 'Mx' is?

I'm just wondering how many people have heard of 'Mx' as a title. It can be used by either gender, and is increasingly accepted when filling in online forms and suchlike.
I use it - it's on my driving licence even, but some of the drop down menus don't have it as an option. My favourite is EDF electricity who have Mr, Miss, Mrs, Ms, Dr, Prof., Corporal, Sergeant, Sergeant Major, and a MASSIVE list of other military ones, then Sir, Dame, Lady etc... but no 'Mx'.
I'm just wondering how many people have even heard of it.

I wondered that but it was meant to be posted on another thread so I didn't like to ask Grin

I think it means Home Education.
Eckhart I think you've kept a very polite and well balanced tone throughout this thread. I think it's touched a nerve for a few people. Me too to some extent, although am happy to politely debate and see what other people think as well.

@Beamur Yes, it's touched a lot of nerves for me too but it's so interesting hearing what people think. I appreciate your comment, thank you.

I've read about it in the guardian, never seen it in real life

I wish we could just dispense with these titles, why do we need a prefix

Ah, ok, thanks
