It is the female form of milord
And here's some background on milord
Otherwise, as elliot frisch has suggested, lady is the term you want But in my opinion, if you're talking about clients of yours, be gender neutral Lady can have negative implications in this setting because it is often used in a negative fashion, e.g That lady wouldn't stop talking about.
If you are wondering why we don't write ladies's, it is because ladies is one of the exceptions, along with girls', parents', players', weeks' and even klingons' it can get a bit niggly with names too Aristophanes' plays, but jesus's miracles and (usually) james. I have been wondering about this little problem for a while now Everyone understands that, in the binary, the opposite of 'man' is 'woman', and the opposite of 'gentleman' is, namely, 'gentlewoman'.
A kind of delicate way to say that woman looks like a man! in this movie, lady penbroke really couldn't be described as such
Even with the getup and everything, she looked classically beautiful. first time i've fallen in love with a woman in a poofy wig. Where did the saying ladies first originate Did it originally appeared in english countries, or And is this always expressed in a positive/polite tune of meaning
This seems rather a poor act of classification,. The phrase means 'the lady of the house', but in the context of the derivation of the surname tiplady they think 'lady' might imply a man's mistress.
