Abstract

The author reflects on the phenomenon of title inflation and mentions several humorous examples. The history of titles in the English language is discussed. A new science of exaltametrics, which would adjust titles for inflation, is proposed by the author. Examples include Jong-Il Kim's many self-endowed titles and the large number of executives running the football team the Huston Texans.
