[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (2 children) I almost never see it used anymore here in the US, either. Let’s just cancel that useless title. On the one hand it feels really weird when someone (not a child) calls me with that phrasing - that’s my Dad plus no one does that anymore But on the other hand it seems disrespectful for a child to call an adult by first name, and I don’t know a better alternative permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Rouxibeau@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Try the South https://www.wral.com/news/local/story/135874/ permalink fedilink source parent [–] HardlightCereal@lemmy.world -5 points 2 years ago* Why don't we just replace honorifics with pronouns?
