My current gripe/mission is with the AskJeeves website that shirks the canons of common decency and still, despite several emails from myself and others in this community, refers to Jeeves as a--mind you, this may come as a shock; out with the smelling salts--butler. It is a common misconception for those not knowledgeable of our gentleman's gentleman to think of him as some mysterious paragon of the downstairs staff, but we, of course, see the flagrant err and that is why I politely ask, for those that are willing, to pop a few words--preferably of the indignant kind--into an email along the vein of, "you heartless fools; fix this at once." My reasoning is if enough people write, maybe they'll change their "put the butler in your browser" line to "put the valet in your browser."
Of course, this may render confusion among the lesser minded masses, "Jeeves parking cars, what?" but an aberration is an aberration and let the lesser minded masses be damned as they are no concern of mine. Our man Jeeves is being mislabeled and that is far more important than they.
So, if anyone is willing to rally round and send a bit of ire to them through the wires, I'd be most appreciative. I hate that they're capitalizing on Plum's character without paying proper due.
That would appear to be all.
Pip-pip.
