OT: James F. Chams

Funny thread!

James, you adressed me once as Mr Warrant. Warrant is short for my current rank: Chief Warrant Officer (though i'm joining the officers corps within a few weeks). It is very incorrect (at least in my country) to add Mr in front of a rank. ;)

So please.... either Warrant or René :engel016:

and regarding this:

As Ian said, this is an informal environment, if anybody calls me Mr I'll presume their either selling me something or it's one of my old strict teachers, coming back to haunt me! :icon_lol:

...i could not agree more :ernae:
 
You can call me jmig. you can call me jmiguez. You can call me John. You can call me Johnny. Just don't call me Johnson. That's not my name so I won't know who you are talking to... :icon_lol:

Mr. Henry,

Yes, and apparently, I remind him of a school teacher; he must have been a very "nauty boy" in class :icon_lol:; at least I'm NOT being accused of calling anyone "MRS." or any other stupid 4-letter words. :icon_lol: :icon_lol: :icon_lol:
 
As you say in Britian, "Why are you ticked?"

That is a new one on me, but I no longer live in Britain!!

Hey Warrant, I always thought that you CWOs were already really part of the 'officers corps' unlike the UK Warrant Officers who eat with the SNCOs. I guess (unlike the Brits who join the 'Ruperts', that is where that slang name comes from) you will not have to take a course on table manners!!!
 
Well, this is a unique thread.

Formality on the Intarwebs? Never happened, never will.

BTW, I expect developers to refer to me as Lord Dennis the Respected.
 
Did anyone ever get any post from relatives addressed as To Master "full name"

I did! And i aint from a posh family!!
 
Anyone on the internet can call me whatever they want. Sure, there are many people I respect in this community, but when it boils down to it, I could care less what I'm called. The manner in which I'm addressed will set the tone for my response, and it's very unlikely that I'll ever meet any of you, or that any of you will have a profound interpersonal interaction with me. For Christ's sake; we're not having tea and crumpets at Castlewood Country Club, we're mostly chain-smoking, drinking beverages out of personal plastic cups and sitting in dark rooms next to computer desks littered with papers and USB cables.

I've gone by Master, Mestre, First Officer, Sergeant, Airman and soon Captain. There's a time and place for that, and it's not here. I don't expect any developers to address me formally here; they're here on their own time. I'll ask for professional politeness when I'm on their time getting tech support.

We're all just that special kind of 'internet friends' here.
 
My nickname through School was Winston, for obvious reasons, although I'm more than happy to be called 'Lord' Churchill, followed by a virtual bow.
 
Well, when Mr. Chams calls me a.hole, godless nazi etc... in other forums, he NEVER uses Mr.... that's not fair....I'm frustrated... ;)

Regards

Bernt
 
Oh damn, would I be Mr.Mr.Mugel than? This is confusing...

I just added the Mr. to my nickname when I registered for the Americas Army Game (It was 1.4 or such back than), and my nick was allready taken, so as I had a Mr. in there, I quite liked it, and added it to the Mugel. Mugel is kind of a german play of words, mix of Mensch (Human) and Kugel (Ball (Not the thing you think of, it means the geometric figure, as I am not the smallest guy). Came from my brother, and he is since then Mookiee, half Mensch half Wookiee....

Or you could just call me Lennart...
