[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MB here. Give them the benefit of the doubt that they might just be clueless and ask them to include your name when introducing you. I will confess that this issue had never occurred to me until I read about it on DCUM. I used to say "[b]This is our nanny, Betsy." Now, after becoming (hopefully) a little more aware I say "This is Betsy Ross, Dick and Jane's nanny.[/b]" They probably just don't know better and don't mean any disrespect at all. [/quote] This is just proper grammar. You are yourself, BEFORE you are what you do/how you know the person introducing you. That's why you always mention the person's name first, and THEN their relationship to you. [/quote] Yes, ok miss manners. Thanks for barking at me when I was just trying to be helpful to the OP. [/quote] She wasn't barking. Calm down[/quote]
