And as a follow-on from the previous post, I have a pet peeve when people refer to Jeeves -- surely now an iconic figure from fiction -- as a butler. Jeeves was a valet, a gentleman's gentleman, which is quite different.
Does it matter? Well, would you call Mary Poppins a cook? Or Hagrid a chauffeur?
