[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes I do get annoyed. I expect my child to be called whatever I write on forms or introduce her as. My parents are the worst offenders. If an adult introduced himself as Bob, no one would call him Robert and write emails to Robert. [/quote] You'd be surprised. It's the reverse, but I always introduce myself as Katherine and at least 50% of the time, I am asked if I go by Katie, Kathy, Kate, etc; or better yet they just start calling me by one of these names. It used to drive me nuts as a child because I was taught it was rude to correct adults. Now, as an adult, I just politely say "actually, I go by Katherine." (While thinking to myself "duh -- that's how I introduced myself.") My son uses a nickname and people often use the diminutive of the nickname (like Bobby instead of Bob). It annoys me but doesn't seem to bother him, so I don't say anything. I figure if it ever bothers him, he'll say something.[/quote]
