Come on.....Dwight a Marquess? That simply cannot be. Duke or Duchess yes. (He is from Califas)
Yup he is one of many Dukes of Califas.

If people persist inserting non-essential "u"s in words like Marqee, it just might happen today.  jh

From Wikipedia Quote:
A marquess or marquis is a nobleman of hereditary rank in various European monarchies and some of their colonies. The term is also used to render equivalent oriental styles as in imperial China and Japan. In the British peerage it ranks below a duke and above an earl (see Marquesses in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth). In Europe it is usually equivalent where a cognate title exists. A woman with the rank of marquess, or the wife of a marquess, is a marchioness (in British usage), or a marquise.
So no, it is spelt correctly....and it is in the right place...
and I say tomorrow - being monday!

Yep, that's what I reckon too. When he sees this thread.
Wind him up and he will go off like a clockwork toy. 
No doubt he will eloquently respond, and have the required tally up by tonight.

Well ole DWIGHT. I'm gonna TRY and DO THIS Dwightstle. In MY humble opinion, I think it REALLY depends on a CERTAIN THREAD that will stem ole Dwight's CLEVER and DEEPLY THOUGHT-out opinions and rebuttals. Looking at Dwight's pattern of posts, I have to go with the 22nd. May the BEST man win.

I thought 'Marquess' was a title given to girls. What will Mrs. Dwight think of us giving her hubby a girls name?

I'm sure the Marquess of Bath (ie the bloke that owns Longleat, complete with the lions) will object to saying that its a girls title.....
In a irony, when Anne Bolyn was given the title of Marquess of Pembroke, there was scandal in the Royal court becauseshe was a woman, and it's a bloke's title. It was a ploy by Henry VIII to get her into bed....

A marquess (pronounced /ˈmɑrkwɨs/) or marquis (/mɑrˈkiː/) is a nobleman of hereditary rank in various European monarchies and some of their colonies. The term is also used to render equivalent oriental styles as in imperial China and Japan. In the British peerage it ranks below a duke and above an earl (see Marquesses in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth). In Europe it is usually equivalent where a cognate title exists. A woman with the rank of marquess, or the wife of a marquess, is a marchioness (in British usage) (pronounced /ˌmɑrʃəˈnɛs/), or a marquise (in Europe, pronounced /mɑrˈkiːz/). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MarquisMarquis probably would've been a better choice.

Okay Benny and Ian, just one question here: How in the heck do you guys keep the hem of this thing from gettin' all wrapped up in the chain while you're ridin' around, HUH???!!!
There is no freakin way I am going to address him as your highness. The would assume a modicum of respect. He can't get his helmet on as it is. Though the robe is a nice touch. Is that the pink slip to your bike in your hand, your Marquessness.

Yeaaah! That's RIGHT, Ian!!! I DO have control of this "situation" here, DON'T I?!!!
And soooooo in THAT CASE here's the deal....Whoever wants to "share" the winnings with me here, I'll make sure YOUR BET will be "in the bag"!!!!
I'll start the bidding with a 90/10 cut under the table and we'll see where that leads us.
(BTW...that's 90% MINE and 10% YOUR cut of the winnings here!!!)
