Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

Google alerted me that Peacock has ordered a reality dating show "inspired by Pride and Prejudice" that involves "a heroine looking for her Duke" and my reaction is mostly that there are no Dukes (is duke always capitalized? I have no idea) in P&P, I guess saying they are inspired by Bridgerton would not go over well since that's a Netflix show...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I saw a tweet yesterday (well, a tweet thread) that was VERY emphatic on that subject, -t.

What can I say? Clafoutis is my hammock stand.

Is duke always capitalized?

Duke is usually capped since it is almost always used as an integral part of the name and rarely used in apposition (unlike other titles where you might see President Jimmy Carter, but U.S. president Jimmy Carter or former president Carter), but if you are just talking about how few dukes there are in England, it would be lowercase.

Thank you, megan, that makes sense.

And I feel validated, Dana. Hooray twitter

I had that EXACT reaction. "Inspired by P&P" should be less "looking for her Duke" and more "looking for her intellectual equal / house with magnificent grounds"

I understand that reference

looking for her intellectual equal / house with magnificent grounds

I mean, it should really be about a man with a fortune in want of a wife, right?
