Elizabeth - aren't you the clever one to notice that. I wonder what was written in the scripts? Would different writers make their episodes more or less formal? Would that get edited in the read-thru? ------------------------------------- Growing up in the 60s in NC, I always called aunts, uncles, parents' friends, etc by their first names. I still do. It may have been because I was the first grandchild (on both sides) and never heard anyone call them "Aunt" or "Uncle." I don't think any of them ever took offense, and there was certainly no disrespect on my part.
