Re: Stupid questions from non-natives (Part Two)

1) Because they don't want their feet to get hurt and don't have carpets? I don't know, I grew up taking my shoes off and I mostly wear slippers these days.

2) Partly a creation of the media - the received idea that Prom is important and that Prom is supposed to be a Major Life Event tends to actually create importance for it. Partly because it's high school and EVERYTHING feels like it's of apocalyptic importance, especially something of so much social importance, something that serves as a social barometer the way that prom does.

3) I don't know, I think it's a question of respect. Teachers are, in some respect, superiors / elders and it's right and proper to address them differently than you'd address a casual acquaintance or family member. At least it seems that way to me. We don't always talk the same way to all different people, context is important.

4) I don't rightly know why this is. But I'm not sure if that's specifically a UK thing.
