[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was taught to ask how people (mostly friends parents) [b]how they would like to be addressed[/b], then was happy to use whatever they wanted. My mom had kept her maiden name so she was probably sensitive to this since she always got Mrs. NotHerName. She would correct in that she would usually say, "call me Larla!" when kids did it. For adults, I think she would let it go the first time or maybe reintroduce herself with proper name. "This is Dr. and Mrs. HisLastName" Mom-"Nice to meet you, Larla HerName."[/quote] Yep. My kid addresses different adults differently. We ask the preference or default to Mr and Mrs Last Name and use whatever correction is usually provided. I think we are surrounded by rather casual people because most go by first names only. [/quote]
