Went through a nasty divorce years ago, happened upon the concept of "words have power", refused to say her name ever again and demanded family do the same. Its the best mental health decision I've ever made.

It applies to 47 too, and for the same reasons.

When I have to use their name in writing I don't capitalize it. It's petty, but it gives me a little boost everytime I deliberately avoid the shift key. Using 'their' rather than 'his' also feels appropriate for someone with such a hang up about pronouns. I like to think that sort of disrespect is sort of thing that would really get under their skin after a while.
