hello good friends out there. i know some members here celebrated brand Sunday morning like me, first Sunday of the month either. as we do so, should say; other's time is ahead to ours and some are late. but does not bother to my discussion i should start appealing here anyway. just want to greet all the the good people before tackling the main discussion. so as i noticed some address entailed to any member as one started to answer to a post certainly. these endearment so to called are; dear, miss, madam, sir and etc. others too simply called each one by them names. what about you, do you like calling others in here as to their names or anything you think that is appropriate with their personality as you encounter them here :)

For some people I start with their name given first--for example Hatley aunty, Professor bhaiya, Lamb, Mysdianait ...like that. for you --- I think I have been writing without putting your name before. But whenever I see a discussion from missjahn I try to post a response. In case missjahn posts more than two or three then I will select the middle one and read. If it is appealing I will respond. Others call me Ravi, Ravisir, uncle, Ravi uncle like that. it is fine. Yourself, surekha are more or less of my childrens' age and so some times i will put the name or otherwise i will write as now without your name. How are you enjoying holiday? finished your college home work? good day.

story telling -- interesting-- plan for fifteen minutes if you have to talk for ten minutes -- once in an oratorical competition--i was in 8th standard --i prepared fr five minutes talk but it ended within 1 1/2 minutes. you are smiling -- good - be smiling - be joyful. How are your parents? they are in native place? I know you will expect me to ask about your boyfriend also? hope he is fine.

smiling would be the best thing to do if we would like to preserve our youthfulness, you know sir ravs, i am not getting any younger. to make the storytelling interesting, i need to practice over and over again to master the piece, what do you mean by 8th standard sir. hmm.. my momma is very much fine and thanks God for that and so as my boyfriend, he's healing fastly from the accident. you too must take care of your health. as we all knew health is wealth. thanks :O)

hello sir ravs - your comment reply would really put some smile in my face. love your presence around here that is why i ever made this discussion is because these are dedicated to those people i have known for shorter of time and whom i thought i already attached myself with because they are so kind to me in here like you and the rests. for those people i respected, i put some tags for their names to let them know of their regards. but this scheme does not mean that i do not respect the rests as well. just that i make call names because it was being dictated to my mind and heart. a bit busy because finals is coming and got projects to finish and we have english festival to be celebrated on 21st of this month. i need to practice for my storytelling and i am the one who was being assigned for making programs and invitations too. whoops... it should be like that and that to finish this sem successfully.. thanks and God bless

This is not something that I had given much thought to. I do occasionally refer to another member by their username, especially if I am adding a comment to a list of comments under a response. This is simply to clarify who the comment is directed to.

hi missjahn I think its more friendly and more casual to address my friends b y their user names or in some cases I know them w ell I use their first name.As I do not always know the gender its safer to use usernames names rather than sir a woman.

hello my madam :) pardon, maybe i am already crossing the line and pushing myself hard and might you anticipate that i am a feeler already as if we are too close like that . well, hope you understand that it is just my way as sign of extending a heartfelt gratitude for being so kind to newbies like us. yes, i called them by their names too. but before, shame on me, i addressed a person him unknowingly that person was a girl. i just found it out as she replied to another post of mine. but to familiar person about their gender, i call them sir, madam. but that would be rare. just to my likings and a dictate of my heart and mind. thanks for joining in here my madam:)

I find it more appropriate to call them by their username and I rather they call me by my username also . I dont know why a person would go through all that by saying miss and mr online . Thanks for the Sunday greeting even though it now Monday for me , enjoy the rest of the week .

your welcome :) hmmm.... did not remember so far addressing miss or madam because i guess that is too hard to identify if the person is single, well single women were miss or use this as for high regards to that person. i remember that i was being mistaken by using pronoun like him that found out she was a girl. but i used to call as to show for my respect for that person. thanks for sharing your views in here :) good monday there ")

I only address the member by the name used on his or her profile even if I know their true names. They thought of a username instead of their real name for some reason, and whatever that is, I have to respect that and call them by their username.

I usually use the username of the person I am addressing because it is easiest. For a couple people I may use a portion of the user name, not the whole thing. But I think they know that well enough so it is okay.

I do the same for some people. It is easier and I might seem lazy but its also cause I talk to them often so they're like a friend!

i address them with their usernames and if ever their usernames are too long to type, i would cut it short like missjahn as jahn. Lol

hello chel, i mean bleb yes like you i have this thing too of making the name short. but i am careful with that because since this site is international, i am afraid i can make another meaning of their names when cut it off. well, it is just okay when it derives a good and lovely meaning but what about it results to not good meaning name, gee, scared that this person would get angry or annoyed hahah thanks for joining here :)

Most of the time I address them as my dear friend or friend but I always prefer to address them by name. I does not mind that it is their real name or profile name
