    You don’t use the person’s name every time when you’re talking about them in their presence.

    Those who appreciate polite behaviour do.

      “Can’t believe how close we came to an accident on the way here. We were walking past a building with some scaffolding on it, and a brick just about hit me on the head. Fergus was looking up at the site anyway because Fergus’s company is advertising on the site, so Fergus saw it fall and stopped me just on time.”

      Nobody talks like this

        LOL people talk like this. I think perhaps you meant to say that nobody you know talks like this.
