[Opinions] Re: Irma
It is definitely old-fashioned, but medieval? I don't really think so.Mentioning Emma in connection with it makes me think of that weird meme "Ermagurd!" meme a few years ago. Irma/Erma actually does kind of sound like someone with a speech impediment or really bad teeth saying Emma.Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

Well, royal women named Ermengarde existed in the eighth century, so it's not fallacious to say Irma's old.
