Actually, the US has screwed up titles just a little bit more as well, but in reverse! While "Esquire" is a courtesy title in the UK, and can be used the same way in Canada, there are specific individuals that might use Esquire in Commonwealth countries in place of Mister based on position or status. In the USA, lawyers have started using "Esquire" meaning 'passed the bar in their state.'
