I am a native speaker of US English who lives in the northeastern United States. I'm fascinated by linguistics and the means by which people communicate.

Nov 29	accepted	Word for “library staff member”
Nov 27	comment	Word for “library staff member” Oh, I meant to ask, was your library in the US? Mine was. Other answerers suggest that the British usage may be slightly different from that in the US.
Nov 27	comment	Word for “library staff member” I used to work in a library as well. This question was prompted by my needing a label for a form field. I originally used Librarian but was told this was incorrect. Nobody had a better suggestion, though. You're correct that I may be conflating the degree and the job title. I believe that this library may have required the degree of anyone who held the position, although I could be misremembering.
Nov 26	comment	Word for “library staff member” @TimLymimgton in normal British usage, is it appropriate to refer to nurses as doctors? This is definitely not the case in the US.
Nov 26	comment	Word for “library staff member” @BarrieEngland is that simply in colloquial usage, or terminology accepted by library staff?

Nov 22	comment	31th or 31st is correct? If it had to be pronounced, I would imagine "one-oh-oneth". Although that still sounds awkward.
