Um, what?
No.
When you get a college degree, or at least are a good ways out of high school, you may call an ex-teacher by their first name. Teachers demand respect, even if they personally do not call for it. They are their to school you, not to be your best buddy, and deserve recognition thus. They are either Mr., Miss, Mrs., Ma'am, or Sir. Behind their back, maybe, just their last name.
That's not a generation thing. That's just a you thing. And stop doing it, you're going to run into trouble one day.
I'm obviously touchy about this, sorry.
One of the most obvious differences in generation, which I only notices in my mother recently, is skirt length. Evidentially, four inches above the knee is too short, even with leggings. Another is the sense of responsibility. I've found that people in older generations got jobs younger, and did their work in school more than children do now. This might have something to do with the sense of morality in society becoming lax.
It also might have something to do with not hitting kids.
Er, never mind that.

Most of my professors request that we call them by their first name, so I'm going to.

Linds, for most its not the way it tastes, especially not at first, its the way it makes you feel after severl shots/beers. People like to drink because people love to get drunk.
jill the ripper:
Oh God.
That's...
I couldn't do that.
I just couldn't.
I'd fall over twitching if I tried. I mean, there are reasons I can't learn from tutors.
But, I guess if it's there request. Blows my mind, though.

I had one student who called me "Teach" for a month because she couldn't remember my name. *shrug*
