Mr Bee?

Some of "my kids" used to call me Mr. Ron in "real life". (They were third graders. I remember it as a term of affection.)

I've heard "Mr. + first name" used as a rather disguised way of displaying a patronizing (or condescending) attitude towards the person addressed in that manner. Maybe it's just a local thing, or maybe it's just me. Anyway, that's how I've heard it.

It would depend on who it comes from, how it said and where it is said. In any event, I prefer to not use or hear the "Mr." title, generally speaking. There may be exceptions once in a great while.
 
I hate Ron(first name only).OR I hate Mr(last name only).

What do you use? Mr + first name or Mr + first and last names :hi:
 
???
it's Mr. + last name, isn't it?!
i get confused~

i learned it that way "Mr. + last name"
last= family name!
 
Last name = family name

;-)
 
I`d call him Mr. Ron if I didn`t have the opportunity to meet him before, or if he didn`t ask me to call him Ron.

I think Ron is easy to say if i am his friend :-D
Mr Ron is very formal:roll:
 
I´ve heard that it´s

Mr + last name

and

Sir + first name



P.S. Calling him Ron would seem that we´re very close friends. Aren´t we Ron?:-D
 
As for your question,Tdol
I would say Ron because you are his friend and friends don't use such "compliments" to call each others


I.A;-)
 
Hi, nice to meet you Mr. Ron :-D
 
Mr. Ron is a nice person ;-)
