Perhaps one day the subject of Name Tag Etiquette will become obsolete.  At least, this is my goal.  At every presentation I ask the audience to show me where they normally place their name tags by raising their hands. I ask if they put it on their left shoulders, in the middle of their chests, or right shoulders. Invariably, over 50% of the audience chooses the wrong place.  It's wrong only because society has decided on the optimum location for best viewing. That's what makes it etiquette. 

For more discussion on this subject, please see Nametag Etiquette (April 2006).

Happy Practicing
