Miss Manners: Does anybody know what you’re supposed to call a former president? — Lakewood Community news

Dear Miss Manners: I have read that the proper honorific for public officials depends on the exclusivity of the office. For example, an ex-president cannot properly be styled “Mr. President,” since only one U.S. president holds office at a time. But a former governor may still be called “Governor,” since there are many governors at once.
