My father had 3 Christian names, and they were such a pain to write out in
full on any Official form, that he insisted I only have one - to spare me
that problem!
One "title' I hate is Ms. - However I do use it when I don't know if the
person is a Miss or Mrs!
But everyone knows I am a Mrs, so why don't they use it. I also have mail
coming addressed just to Eliz.... Ligeti, without a title at all. --
another of life's little irritants!!
Good Manners seem to have gone out the window these days. I, too, don';t
like young children calling me by my first name. It shows a lack of respect
for elders. I still call the Dr "Dr." not by his first name - though I
think he indicated we could. It is a showing of respect for the position.
There again - I am old fashioned like Thurlow,! (I hope first names are OK
on Arachne!! I count everyone on the list as a good
friend.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)) )
Addressing folks by their first name in Not just in the US - It is here in
Oz, too!
Regards from Liz in Melbourne
