[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never heard of this before. People get offended by the oddest things.[/quote]

I can not believe that so many adults here are unaware that it is rude to refer to a person in 3rd person when they are present. It is not hard to use a person's name. This is absolutely appalling that so many of you are defending this. The only people I know who do this are lower ses.[/quote]
YOU are wrong. I grew up in an extremely high SES family, you could say high society, and had to take etiquette classes while younger.  Also had to do cotillion.  We were told that the most polite way to answer the phone was to say "Yes, this is she" (obviously in response to "Is this Larla?"), so you're actually referring to YOURSELF with she.  There is certainly nothing rude about it, unless you are the most deranged and fragile person on the planet. And I dont believe for a single second you grew up high SES if you really cant handle a proper pronoun![/quote]

You are not well educated despite your privileged upbringing.[/quote]
