August 26, 20232 yr I've decided our pronoun should be "we". Our doctor did this long ago: "How are we today?" Royalty has done it forever: "We are not amused." In reality, we're pretty laid back. Call us anything but late for dinner. Hooks (hehe) Larry Hookins Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
August 26, 20232 yr The other one that came up on a radio show is we now have guys becoming Mid Wives, so they asked one of the guys who is now a Mid Wife if they should change the name now that men are in the profession? He said no because the name Mid Wife comes from Latin which translates to With Your Wife. Therefore not the title of the person it just describes what they are doing.

Old English is "mid". Actually, to get back to the original subject, "magna cum laude" could be applied to the performance of the English women's football team.
