Also Dinna Eskin, Esq. (wanted to make sure I included the title so I don’t get sued) and all the other soulless people blindly following orders to take home that paycheck and cash in on that stock

The "Esquire" isn't a reserved title. Anyone can be an Esquire, it means nothing.

Americans use it differently, and there it essentially means “I’m a lawyer”, for all genders.

Yes, but that's tradition, not law

Actually, it's very rare for a lawyer to refer to themselves using that title. They'll refer to other lawyers using it, not themselves. Using it in a signature line is pretty suspect, instead of just "Attory at law".

Yeah, I apologize for not including the /s there, I should have spelled it E/sq.
