¿Qué significa Esquire?



Image result for esquire

Transcribo lo que el The Random House Dictionary dice de esta palabra: an unofficial title of respect, having no precise significance, sometimes placed, esp. in its abbreviated form, after a man’s surname in formal written address: in the U.S., usually applied to lawyers, women as well as men; in Britain, applied to a commoner considered to have gained the social position of a gentleman. Abbr.: Esq.”

Una dirección podría ser así:

John Doe, Esq.
2617 Perrsyville Ave.
Pittsburgh, Pa.
U.S.A.
Quiere decir, para simplificar, Mister, Miss o Mrs.

P-D. También es el título de una famosa publicación para hombres.
