I never talked informal english outside of animesuki (and I'm new here), and was only used to the formal way we talked in class. That's why teacher = high school to me, so I never really thought about college until "Ruby Princess" replied to my post with that info. Still, a college teacher so young when I see only old hags everywhere - guess different countries are well...different
You are correct, professor is the proper term for college instructors. As for the age factor, I've seen guys taking a permanent slot in our staff roster at 28~32 and one woman at the same age range, who was given the position for our autoCAD courses. Do note, she was pregnant the last time I saw her...
