Someone I live with insists on calling me “bro” and “dude”, despite my repeated pleas for cessation, citing ideolect as a defence.
I get that “bro” and “dude” are part of their vocabulary, but it hurts. Am I in the wrong here?
P.S. Is this the right community for this kind of question?
This sums it up. Man, woman, cis, trans… it doesn’t matter. If you don’t want to be called something, it’s reasonable to ask that they stop.
