[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're speaking about your parents, you would say, "Dad came for over yesterday." I don't get Op's post. Why would I need to say "my" Dad. Of course it's my Dad. Why would I be talking about someone else's Dad? and use the word "Dad."[/quote] Because it's not the Dad of the person you're speaking to so it means something different to them. They have a different person known to them as Dad, so normal people put "my" in front of it to make it clear. When you ask them about their dad do you say "How's dad doing?" or do you say "How is your dad?"[/quote]
