I always use what people put at the top of their email signature. (But I don't introduce myself with the title, so maybe I am biased towards not using it.)

This is a great performance of a very fun song. Did you know the singer had cancer, and they had to shut it down for all of 2024? I was glad to see they are back though.

"Claire’s filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Wednesday"

"In 2018, the company off-loaded $1.9 billion in debt and emerged seven months later with a creditor group — including Elliott Management and Monarch Alternative Capital — at the helm"

www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
The "Say the line, Bart!" meme. Bart's line is "The company was acquired by private equity and stripped for parts before suddenly declaring bankruptcy."
