Proper Titles

Generalized and Specific Titles

There are many titles that can be added to personal names which can serve generically when combined to describe an organization's name; "Goodwill Ambassador" and its inverse "Ambassador of Goodwill" is a single title that can be presented or utilized in a generic sense when presented inside of a realm, country, dominion or territory relative to it, but needs to be attributed and specified when presented outside of a territory or in the whole world, such as on the Internet. A title should also be an active title when presented in order to be exercised, recognized and utilized. Improper or non-specific designations should not and generally are not fully recognized, if they are not presented under protocol.

Prenominal Titles

A prenominal title may also be a title of respect that may be applied in the third person in reference to a person's standing or status.

Pre-nominal letters refer to other abbreviations like H.E. for His/Her Excellency referring to the current status or standing representative to a high-office of state. Only the highest officer and his/her designated officials, an indigenous chief or an individual designated by a ruling monarch can be referred to as His/Her Excellency.
