We are in unprecedented times and there\u2019s a lot of excitement surrounding it. <\/p>\n
The US is about to welcome the first female First Lady, and so there\u2019s a lot of thought and emotion behind that.<\/p>\n
This has also brought up the question of titles, as this will also mean that the US will have the first husband of a presidential candidate in the White House. <\/p>\n
So today we look at these events and the idea of titles, and if they still apply in this new and exciting moment in history. <\/p>\n
So we are on the brink of a new day in the US! <\/p>\n
The country is about to welcome our first female VP, Kamala Harris\u2014this is fantastic news for so many people! <\/p>\n
There is a lot of excitement around this, as this is the highest elected office that a woman has ever held. <\/p>\n
There is a lot of conversation around this, as you can imagine. <\/p>\n
One interesting thing in this conversation is about titles, and it\u2019s something that has never come about before.<\/p>\n
The situation is that normally the spouse of the President is called the First Lady, and the VP\u2019s spouse, is the Second Lady. <\/p>\n
Now we have Douglas Emhoff, who will be the spouse to the Vice President\u2014but for the first time in history it is a man in this position. <\/p>\n
Though this doesn\u2019t take away from the excitement, it does create an interesting conversation of sorts.<\/p>\n
There is an article about this\u2013this is about language and how it evolves over time. <\/p>\n
We\u2019ll take a look at this article, but you can see why this is a topic of conversation that we have never encountered before. <\/p>\n
For a bit of background, we have discussed first ladies and a documentary that we watched about this. <\/p>\n
