[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My name is Elizabeth, I go by Elizabeth, sign all my emails as Elizabeth and yet half of the office calls me Liz, even after being corrected. [/quote] I [i]hate[/i] that. People make a big deal about using correct pronouns, forms of address (e.g., Mx., Ms. vs. Miss, etc) but then surprisingly do the opposite when it comes to names. I have a colleague who likes to be called by and goes by his full name (Christopher), yet a lot of older folks (relative to him) call him "Chris" despite him saying otherwise. I'm not sure if it's a "power move" in their head or what, but it's really gross. It should be respected just as much as the other stuff.[/quote]
