HelpRe: Liliana vs Lillian?
in reply to a message by Ludwig
How have you concluded that I am uptight from my comment?
I if was introduced to an Eleanor, I would call her Eleanor unless she told me specifically or a relative did that she liked or I "could" call her Ellie. Doing it without such prompt or permission would be rude in my opinion. But if you are okay with doing that then I guess we just come from different societies - this does not mean that I am uptight.

You're probs uptight just saying

Considering you're judging this on one statement alone, I'd say you're wrong and have no basis for that conclusion.

Yes... And still I find it difficult to understand why this makes me uptight. Where I come from you call someone by their first name unless they give you other instructions, this is how teachers acted in three of my schools, and people in my local community.
