[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Professor [Last Name]" How is this hard? lol[/quote] Nothing hard about it. It's just unnecessarily formal and nobody can explain why an adult calling another by their first name is "rude" (because it's not, unless you're a nutjob egomaniac).[/quote] Many people have explained this - because they are not peers. While technically an 18 year old is a legal adult, as the title of this thread itself suggests, many, including the OP, actually consider them kids. But go ahead and have this view. Go ahead and encourage your child to use first names and informality. Just don't be surprised when it offends some.[/quote] OP's daughter thought it was o.k., she said, based on what some of the faculty had told her. O.K. A couple of them set her straight. I doubt she'll make that mistake again. Funny the OP hasn't come back to defend why she thought the faculty member and advisor were "rude." [/quote]
