Mar 24, 2014 at 22:14 comment added Ben Webster By the way, I hope you won't be too offended that I changed "Czechia" to "the Czech Republic." I personally root for English speakers to start using "Czechia" but it isn't widely recognized (as explained in this Wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_of_the_Czech_Republic).

Czechia is not familiar to English speakers
Feb 11, 2014 at 15:37 comment added yo' @xLeitix They don't call me that way when I teach. But (1) I'm a PhD student without a position, and (2) we "tutoyons" and not "vouvoyons", because I prefer it that way, so they call me just "Tomáši" :)
Feb 11, 2014 at 15:30 comment added xLeitix @penelope People always used to call me "professor" even when I was only TA'ing. I think this is just students not having a lot of insight into how the academic ranks work (and, as this question shows, this is no big surprise as the system is kinda varied and unclear).

Feb 11, 2014 at 14:29 comment added penelope The system is very similar in Croatia: not sure that the president promotes you, or if it's somebody from the University's ranks, but once you are a Professor, you are one for life. Oh, and on the contrary, I called everybody higher-up than me "profesor" when I was doing my BSc and MSc, even the assistaints when I waas unsure what to call them
