Help[Opinions] not lovely at all ...
in reply to a message by perezident
It's cloying and weirdly impersonal.
And feels like you're being awfully bold when you address someone as Lovely.
I know someone named Lady. I always felt sort of rude and abrupt addressing her as Lady, like an old-time NYC cab driver.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

Totally agree. My husband had a student once whose name, and she went by the whole name, was Queen Elizabeth. There the resemblance ended.
