Let’s say there’s someone I want to call Mr/Ms/Mrs [Name], but I don’t know their gender, is there a title I can use that doesn’t assume their gender?

    Too bad we can’t adopt the Japanese “-san” honorific, as it is gender neutral!

        I don’t think you can do that without being called a weeb (at least on the western part of the internet).

          I bet they use the terms emoji, karaoke, tsunami, karate or origami.
