Is the phrase gentleman and a squire correct?

The phrase "gentleman and a squire" is grammatically correct, but it's not typically used.

Here's why:

* Redundancy: A squire is traditionally a young nobleman who serves a knight or gentleman. Therefore, saying "gentleman and a squire" is somewhat redundant, as a squire is already considered a gentleman in training.

* Context: The phrase might be used in a specific historical context, like describing a knight and his squire, or in a fictional context where the squire is not necessarily a noble.

Here are some better alternatives:

* Knight and his squire

* Gentleman and his attendant

* Lord and his squire

* Master and his servant

Ultimately, the best phrasing depends on the specific context and the relationship between the two individuals.
