It is only polite. There was a time--not that long ago--when it was not unusual to see a Nordstrom scion working their way up the corporate ladder clerking at one of their stores. I recall my first pair of "cool" tennis shoes (Jr. High don't 'ya know) were fitted to my feet by none other than a Nordstrom grandson himself. Oldtimers here will also refer to "Boeing's" as in "Bill Boeing's little aircraft company." But, good grief, NEVER, EVER say "Warshington."
