I’ve noticed my language teacher uses the informal you in one language and the formal one in the other.

    Funny thing is, in Dutch, I feel it is way more common that people correct you for using a formal form than the other way around.

      In like a “oh please, sir was my father, call me Dave” kind of way? Or a “hey man this really isn’t appropriate in this situation” kind of way?
