I wonder how someone's name is called equates to Respect!

I have even seen people insult their elders whilst calling dem brother X, sister Y...etc

First name basis applies in my family, like in my work place.
Stillfire: I hate people like this poster with passion.
EfemenaXY:
Lol! Why na?
The desire to meddle and pick warts and holes in other people's businesses is inbred for his ilk. Just read and enjoy his 'rationalization'.
@OP: I call them by their first name(s). Now shoot me.

It may not be a big deal but I find it uncomfortable calling people that are older than me by their first names. I might give a nick name like chair or chair lady.
