Prefix Titles for Knights (Male / Female) was created by Proteus
I was looking at the list of Knights on here and a thought went through my head when I was reading the names with "Knight" preceding them.
Could the Knights of TOTJO technically use "Sir" (male), and "Lady" (female) as prefixes?
For example
"Sir Wescli Wardest"
or
"Lady V-Tog"
(Optionally, many of the members' real names seem to sound wonderful with these prefixes too
)
Would or could these be considered correct prefixes for TOTJO Knights?
Could this legally, or otherwise (in whatever official way) be used out in the world when referring to one's position in TOTJO?
Just curious.

That would be a good idea in my opinion...Sir Proteus
I guess you 'could' use it but not 'legally' ? We'd have to see what Br. John says.

So what about the title of "Knight" used now? Is it simply a TOTJO exclusive title then?

It's not a title as such, but a way of mentioning rank. It's in no way compulsory.
For instance, you could call me "Grandmaster Mark" but there's really no need to!

Ah yes. That is true.
Then I suppose that would leave out any technical justification for "sir" and "lady" that I can think of beyond just another way to optionally address someone of a knight rank honorably.

Only in the bedroom eh Mark?
Although I do think we should be able to address knights via Sir? I.e. Sir Akkarin/Sir Michael? Even if it's between us...I think it'd add more of a seriousness about us...but then again we're all brothers and sisters here...so it's quite relaxed....

What if we use the idea within some kind of ceremonial light, even if it's only ever used then?
Example: During the Knighting Ceremony, at or near the end, you could say "I now dub thee Sir/Lady [such and such]"

We (the UK) are not the only authority, It's just that we are the ones that mainly use such titles as part of our honours system. Some of our "Commonwealth" adopt them too but you guys broke away long ago!
As an extra note of trivia: in the UK, ordained Ministers cannot use the prefix "Sir" or "Dame" when they achieve a sufficient honour unless they were ordained after their Knighting.
