31. Mx.K - pronounced as MuhxK

Using it with Musk as in Mx. Musk sounds repetitive, so maybe using it as Mx.K would work.

How about it? Can we use Mx.K in reference to the one assuming the role of the First Lady without really being a lady? Will the tabloids treat him in the same way as they did Michelle Obama and question his manliness?

Mrs. may sound like “MIS-iz” or “MIS-is” in parts of the midwestern United States. On the other hand, southerners may pronounce Mrs. as “MIZ-iz” or “miz.” And, making things more complicated, “miz” is also the pronunciation of Ms. Therefore, in the South, Mrs. and Ms. may sound identical.

Finally, Mx. can sound like “mix” or “muhx.” And you’re more likely to hear it spoken aloud in the UK than in the US, as the term is more widely known and used there
