Reading through this thread I realized that the other thing lost these days is calling people by their given names. I always know when someone knows me through my family because they will call me Christopher. Others who I introduce myself to know me as Chris. I still see people I grew up with and call them Patrick, Michael, Edward, etc. It's just another side of being raised that way and still calling neighbors Mr. and Mrs. even though some have told me to call them by their first names. I feel comfortable calling most by their surnames. Just another lost touch to society today.
