May I ask what&#039;s  the difference,  Daphne?

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - One is proper, idiomatic English and the other is not and is improperly used as a title when former presidents have no such title. &#039;President Emeritus&#039; was first used in Malta by Guido de Marco when he left the job. Before that, we always said former president as a descriptor as distinct from an honorific, and never used the fact that a person was once president to give him a nonexistent honorific.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>
