[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you who have never heard of this, where did you grow up? This was a common expectation of good manners among everyone I knew growing up in the Northeast. [/quote] Same for us, in the Midwest. Our Gramma, who was awesome, would tell us it was enormously disrespectful to refer to her or to our mom as “she” if they were within earshot (usually came up when we were complaining to others when we thought they couldn’t hear us about what chores “she” expected us to do). There was an exception in cases where we made it clear we properly terrified and were thinking of them as “She Who Must Be Obeyed” like in the H. Rider Haggard novel. [/quote]
