[quote=Anonymous] I like the respect aspect of Mr. Mrs. Ms. for children while older teens say of college age could transition to first names of close family friends. In this day and age, the formality also helps to keep in mind the difference between the authority figures and the kids/teens. It certainly sounds better to hear the familiar if annoying refrain: "Well Mr. andr Mrs. Smith lets XXX do this, so why can't I?" Sounds a lot better than dealing with "Well John and Sally let XXX do this, why can't I?" And in the casualness of the world around them it is just one more basic way to instill basic manners which so often seem to disappear.[/quote]
