I'm pretty informal, and a huge fan of nicknames, so I do this a lot. I usually will ask if they mind tho before starting to call them by their nickname.
this is exactly the story of my life... I do have a long and a little complicated name so it doesn't bother me much when people shorten my name... though now that I think about it maybe it is rude and classless
I don't mind it that much, I find it kind of cute when people call me things like aoif
I am okay with it :)
If you don't like it, you can ask them nicely to call you by your full name.
if its your name then just politely ask you be called your full name but for a trick call them what they introduce themselves by
Anyone with an ounce of courtesy and respect, when they will be dealing with a new person on a regular basis, asks what they prefer to be called.
Meh. I may sign my documents as "Nicholas", but in everyday speaking you can call me Nick.
I don't know about being rude I think a lot of people just do it is a term of endearment. And if you have 26 letters in your name and 17 these and 14 YZ and it's hard to pronounce shortening it makes sense.
You got some pretty strong feelings about something so trivial. Just say "actually I go by _____"
You're seriously over sensitive.
You are seriously lower class
Not as low as you kitty kat. 😹😛😂
It's about time, efficiency and convenience... not disrespect to the name.
...-_- "time, efficiency, and convenience" It really takes all that much time to use an entire extra 1 second or 2 saying someone's full name? -_- That sounds like a crock of ish.
you need to find some activities.. cuz this is not something to think about seriously..
Ok Miss Elixer of life :p
@PiuBelloAmante you call me with something that is twice the size of my actual name.. haha..
find me one when you find yourself one :)
I think your name is beautiful! i would never reduce it! :p
hmm.. i don't get much time for activities.. my life is too busy.. but i have my friends to have fun with. :) @asker
you are so sweet.. i am okay with nicknames tho,, i think they are cute,..@PiuBelloAmante
@PiuBelloAmante
You don't seem very busy and full of friends if you are on the internet talking to strangers and thinking about my question.
this is one of my activities.. :P the ones i try my best to take some time out for.. having friends doesn't meet you can't open internet.. never heard about this rule.. oh wait.. maybe thats one more thing you think about.. :D
Ok So your activity is to think about my question that I should stop thinking about. heeeheeeeee.
Yes I heard of that rule in rules for stupid people who have nothing better to do...
Oh my! things are getting catty over here
😺🙊😺
it would be if i would think about it on daily basis.. i think you have posted this question for the first time.. :)
i suppose you are not learning something useful in the class '' learning to waste time 101'' so i'll help you and tell you what an activity is.. :)
activity (Noun)
something done for pleasure or entertainment, especially one involving movement or an excursion.
Quilting can be a fun activity
no need to thank me.. i am happy to help.. :)
Ok genius/waste of time, I get it!!
So its a pleasure and entertainment for you to think about my question. I guess your life is not so busy and full of friends after all :(
gosh.. why are you so stuck on that i think about your question.. lol.. GaG is an activity for me.. NOT YOUR QUESTION.. but yeah i do laugh when i get a notification from you.. :D
I don't think, I know. You said yourself that you thinking of my question and talking to strangers on the internet is one of your activity. Then you went on to explain what the definition of activity is and BOOM we came to a conclusion :DDDD Thanks! I'm glad that I entertain your life and bring happiness to you, you need it poor little girl :(
well thank you so much kat.. i don't think i can ever repay you.. i'll just pray for you.. :) <3
BLAH BLAH BLAH
You have never said a prayer in your life so stop lying like you lied about your friends and your busy life...
now you are getting worked up sweetie.. :) what's up? is this your time of the month? :P
Sure heeheeeheeeeeeeee!!
Nah not really. People shorten my name all the time and I don't mind it. If you don't like people shortening your name let them know.
Have you heard the story of Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo
it depend on the name and how the person feels about it
not really... i shorten my name all the time xD
Nope, I prefer it when people shorten my name.
It's unAustralian not to do it.
Nah Kathy, I'm cool with it
Have fun pronouncing Thaddeus bronkowskis
