My RAs have been transcribing letters from the mid-nineteenth century for the past several months. While they're improving by leaps and bounds, they remain wholly incapable of recognizing "Esq." or "Esqre." for what it is. Maybe I'll make them watch Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.

If you have a Liberal MP, you might consider writing to or calling them to let them know this is insane (for any number of very good reasons - you pick). As an historian, I can tell you that the archives are full of angry letters to MPs, cabinet members, and PMs and that at certain times waves of correspondence moving in the same direction have changed policy.
You might consider demonstrating too. A similar observation applies.

This image depicts a landscape scene with a sign in the foreground. The scene appears to be a grassy area with numerous trees scattered throughout, possibly a park or golf course. The sign is constructed of large, reddish-brown letters set into the green hillside. The letters are arranged to spell out the words "WILLYE JAMES" on one line, and "JR" on the second line. The image has a slightly painted or illustrated quality to it, with vibrant colors and defined outlines.

- for some reason giving short names to variables is a bad idea, but somehow the standard around lifetime names is single letters, often just 'a
- it's extremely unclear to me which lifetime is the declaration and which one is the use of it. Example:

As I've been processing through all this, I thought about the cards and letters folks sent to me in the hospital. I have a box of them in the US and sometimes I think about asking for them to be sent here. But things have a tenancy to get lost in the mail on the way here.
There's a little bit of a trapped and incomplete feeling, that Trump's chaos makes feel even more intense.
So I decided to write a bit about that box, and the hospital, and death.

A report from InfoVaticana — a Spanish outlet with close Opus Dei ties — claims that Pope Leo XIV is on the verge of approving new statutes that would effectively dismantle Opus Dei as it exists today.
In Rome and at Opus Dei’s headquarters, no one denies that the Holy See’s intervention is imminent.
Two independent sources tell Letters from Leo that the text of the reforms is finalized and its promulgation is only weeks away.
According to the leaks, the changes would “mea…

Even though today might have been better starting with my 2nd word, it was chosen because my starting word eliminated those 5 letters, I'm still always happy to have a starting word which eliminates all 5 letters.

Damn that was close, and user error on guess 4 and not a wordle word for guess 5. Those guesses still helped me eliminate a couple of letters and know where the 3 letters I had belong.

Pulled it out, but you're really not puzzling out the answer when there are so many words that fit that initial 3 known letters, each using different letters (well I guess the last 2 did share a letter, so if I had thought of all of the words when I made guess 3, I should have tried one of them first.
Actually I see there were 2 pretty common first letters among the 10 remaining words. And it ended up that getting the answer was just lucky.

Close one, fortunately I had eliminated so many letters I could only think of 1 word at the end.
Seems after my 3rd guess there were only 3 words left, and I tried them all, good thing I had 3 guesses left.

My 3rd guess could have resulted in 4 correct letters and 5 possibilities for the remaining letter, with only 3 more guesses.

including the amount of each contribution,
the agreement reached with each contributor,
