[quote=Anonymous]Similar to another one, and I do not necessarily think it is grammatical just preference, maybe, but when people say "Mom" as a proper noun instead of "my mom" when telling a story, not to their immediate family. For instance, an adult talking to coworkers and says "So the other day, Mom went to the store." No, she is not Mom to everyone there. She is YOUR mom. So, you say "my mom went to the store." Two neighbors talking at the bus stop, and one says "So I got a call from Dad this morning, and ..." No. Dad did not call you. That could mean neighbor's dad or your dad. YOUR dad called you. So say "my dad" not just "Dad." This just makes my skin crawl. It is so self-centered and self-important. [/quote]
