Maybe not, "Tom, I agree, I'll do that," which is a little awkward, but something like, "That's an interesting suggestion, Tom, I'll do that." If you matched him one-for-one, would it occur to him that it sounds a bit funny? How about, "Tom, good morning." "Tom, how was your weekend?"Texan99https://www.blogger.com/profile/10479561573903660086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-58990433497022307092015-06-16T09:20:17.273-04:002015-06-16T09:20:17.273-04:00I think that using the first name is a milder form...I think that using the first name is a milder form of using an "endearment" like honey or sweetie-- which, I think, we've definitively proven is an insult when included with a command or a personal criticism, or when a close personal relationship doesn't exist. You might want to use that as the opening to discuss with your irritating co-worker.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11602288826362438079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-63225513093341444082015-06-15T22:15:21.611-04:002015-06-15T22:15:21.611-04:00Interesting.Interesting.leliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322159218521168878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-60337762072060615992015-06-15T19:30:26.532-04:002015-06-15T19:30:26.532-04:00My son saying Emilyadelaide to his oldest as if it...My son saying Emilyadelaide to his oldest as if it is all one word just slays me.Assistant Village Idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978011985085795099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-83133551687617256512015-06-15T16:27:46.843-04:002015-06-15T16:27:46.843-04:00When you include their middle name, they really kn...When you include their middle name, they really know you're laying it on thick.Texan99https://www.blogger.com/profile/10479561573903660086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-43099684416794805452015-06-15T00:32:45.115-04:002015-06-15T00:32:45.115-04:00Timing is good with this post, because I just gave...Timing is good with this post, because I just gave a lot of thought to using a person's first name in an electronic written exchange. My decision incorporated a consideration of the demanding, irritated, reproval, and... oddly enough, affectionate aspects. <br /><br />I don't think the affectionate part would have been considered if both myself and the person I'm corresponding with were not both southerners. Perhaps longstanding familiarity is a better description than affectionate. Though my irritation and reproval (and the subject matter) might have been better addressed with a more formal Mr. So&So, I decided my demand would more likely be met with the familiar approach. It's also possible, in the southern way of thinking, that the familiar would be more demeaning. <br /><br />Nuance... oh yeah. <br /><br />Donna B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16771075314473811594noreply@blogger.com
