Or is that a geek?
The class I am TAing for has a paper due tomorrow at noon so I've been getting emails all day with questions, all minor points. At around 10pm my time I got an email I just opened up addressed to Professor [my last name], the student also ended the message, "Thank you for all your help Professor [my last name]. I'll see you in class tomorrow."
Professor [my last name]. Professor [my last name]. Professor [my last name].
One one hand it sounds so natural and on the other hand I just laughed for about 5 minutes because this is the first time I've every been addressed that way and it caught me completely off guard.
(BTW: I told her she could just call me by my first name).
