I truly enjoyed reading 新 「まじヤバイっす」’New maji yabai-ssu’ by Nakamura Momoko. It explains in a truly accessible way how much we can learn from one of the most unassuming pieces of Japanese language

I encourage my students and academic advisees to pay attention to how their instructors introduce themselves on the first day of class and use honorifics accordingly. I also tell them when in doubt go with the more formal/higher ranking option (Prof. or Dr.).

For me personally, I introduce myself to students as "Dr. Moorberg", but am not opposed to "Colby" or "Moorberg. I do get annoyed by "Mr. Moorberg" though. I prefer either formal or informal, and using Mr. just seems like a lazy attempt at formality. I acknowledge I have the luxury of assuming someone using Mr. is likely not because they are trying to dismiss my qualifications, which brings me back to my recommendations above.

It is a complex social dance addressing people directly in English — <first name>, <last name>, Mr <surname>, Mrs <surname>, Miss <surname>, Ms <surname>, Doctor <surname>, Professor <surname>, President | Prime Minister | Minister <surname>, Sir <first name>, Sir <surname>, Dame <first name>, Dame <surname>,Reverend | Pastor | Father | Mother | Dean | Bishop <surname>, etc — but people don't complain about preferred they way they complain about preferred .
