students started to send me emails with the salutation, 'Hi
Bob.'* Now they all do it.

Donal:

You let them get away with it. Case closed.

The point is that I'm not sure if things have changed grammar-wise so that this new form is correct; so I can't admonish them until I hear from the MLA or Webster or Heidegger: whoever knows.

But thanks.
