Thread Name: BS: The Use of Titles?
Subject: RE: BS: The Use of Titles?
I usually use titles when I'm speaking to somebody I don't know very well, or somebody I consider to be an authority figure.

If it's a friend or a relative, I don't use titles.
I call my aunts and uncles for example, just by their first name
rather than "Uncle..." or "Aunt..."
