If you're one of my students, please don't send me an email with the salutation being Dear Professor WRONG NAME.
The thing about the name you called me--it's a fine name--but it shows me how really confused you are or how low of a priority this class is for you. I've learned almost all of your names. There are 28 of you. There is only one of me. Surely you can learn my name. My name appears in MANY places... the syllabus, the web site, our wiki.... I'm really not an egocentric person, but I do like to be called by MY OWN NAME.
I once had a chemistry professor who used to ask Professor's name as a question on his tests. Now I really understand why he did that.
