Why not?

Why not?
No,Mister is usually for an adult .
Would Master be more fitting or is that old fashioned now?
My nan always referred to my sons as 'master'
no - if they are going to use formal address it should be 'Master' (Mstr.) At eighteen ( used to be 21) he would be addresses as 'Mister' (Mr.)
'Ben' might have been better all round.
I think it’s being used to infer that the young lad is doing something quite grown-up. Sometimes the rules can be bent.
It just sounds silly to me. His first name would have been the most appropriate. I find regional journalism abysmal to be honest, some of the reporters can't even get the spelling of local places right, and their grammar is terrible.
Good luck to him anyway.

not heard it for fifty yearn gone by.....

Mr I think is a default - and of course titles change uses in time
there are no real alternatives - Mstr - (hahaha havent seen that written since I was five) - and you cant just use the surname or 'boy'

The French have officially abandoned Mamzell - they have a language police.

There are six in Vietnamese. My niece went up from "scatty teenager" to "responsble teenager" we thought because she was leading me around. I was always an 'Ong' ( old fool)
When my teacher Mrs Penman as caught drink driving - much much later like 20 y
she objected to the Bridport news referring her in court as
" The woman, Penman...."
loudly, afterwards, everywhere
By the way, how do you spell Batchelor. Oops looks like I did it. ;-)
If you are talking about a tin of peas then your spelling is correct. If your a talking about an unmarried man or a university graduate then it is bachelor.
Not double ‘l’ tho, is it.
Does it really matter how the OP spells his username.
It does if you’re criticising the use of the English language. Yes yes yes, I know it might be their name. I just thought it rather ironic.
No. The word derives from the Latin baccalaureus. B.A. = baccalaureus artium= bachelor of arts.
Perhaps Batchellor is an amalgamation of two different names stuck together to make a user name.

Just for clarity my name isn’t Cassa.
I would have said ‘young Ben’ and not used Mr. That is a title that should be used for adults not children.

But at the end of the day grammar and the right words mean so little nowadays. I think the population will sink to text speak in normal everyday writing soon and it will transpire that only the legal profession still use it to flummoxe the population. Lol
no business being in a car ! what on earth is going on
