LAS LENGUAS INGLESA Y ESPAÑOLA de Delfín Carbonell

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.
