use of 'Former'

Recommended Posts

Strictly speaking, should 'former' not be placed before the pre-death job description of all death list 'winners'?

 

Having seen the '(former) idiot' entry next to Mr Reagan's name, I thought it would be a good enhancement to add former to all dead listers' entries. It has gives pleasant, warm feeling to be reminded that these rich/famous individuals no longer pack such clout where they are now.

Hmm. Good point.

 

However, just suppose for a moment that there is some kind of after life:

 

If there is, I am certain that dear departed Ronnie is still being an idiot there too. I mean he just couldn't help himself could he? Bless 'im.

 

So actaully, "former" might not be appropriate at all...
