It certainly seems to be true, and it would make sense certainly for mission presidents at least since they have to pay their own way. I've just not seen it studied systematically. But then, I'm not up on what's been done. It also kind of sounds like a question someone might have tried with a Dialogue article sometime. None that I know of, sorry.

This is utterly off topic, Ziff, but you seem like the best person to ask: Do you know if there is data to back up the assertion we always hear that mission presidents and general authorities tend to be wealthy? .

Who's there? You know. You know who? That's right -- and now, avada kedavra! Mwahaha! Knock knock.

Who’s there?

You know.

You know who?

That’s right — and now, avada kedavra! Mwahaha!

But about <strike>Satan</strike> the Adversary, shhhh! He'll hear us! :) Good point about kids, Orwell–I think you’re right.

If I might add a tangent to Jettboy's observation (based solely on my own experience and anecdotal evidence), I would say that "Jesus" is likely the most common way to refer to Jesus when in Primary. I suppose that the little children get more first-name privileges. Great post.

Quite another thought: There is a "cultural" component to it as well! If you would run a stat like this on talks given in Germany (which aren't published though), "Jesus" would have a way higher percentage. Jesus doesn't sound too personal over here --- well, on the other hand: we also use the informal/familiar "you" and "your" in our prayers, while using a formal/respectful form when speaking to strangers (up to the moment the informal "you" is offered)... Nice work!

It seems like we're hesitant to even say "Satan," which goes along with saying "the Adversary" a lot. That’s a great thought, Elizabeth.
