It's a fairly common title, so you should know what it is if you were born West of Turkey.

Ah, you see I was born east of Turkey where titles mean nothing despite being part of the Commonwealth.

My condolences and congratulations on not being born in the US.

Bud, the US literally outlawed aristocratic titles. And good riddance to them. The only time a US citizen sees a word like 'marquis' is in a world history class in college.
