[quote=Anonymous]This brought back a long ago memory. My third grade teacher (she was Irish if it matters, this was at a British school overseas) hated if anyone referred to her as “she.” She would say “who is she, the cat’s pajamas?” Which in retrospect makes no sense. She felt it was disrespectful, especially when the person is right there. I’ve internalized it and never refer to someone in the third person when they are there. It does feel a touch disrespectful. Though on he flip side, nothing more disrespectful than shrilly correcting someone right in front of everyone else. If something bothers her, she should politely ask to the person to refer to her another way at a private time, if she doesn’t want to be a hypocrite 🤷🏻♀️[/quote]
