[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in the South, and we just moved back here from DC. I went to college in California, so have been away from the south for 25 years. My husband grew up in New York, so never did the "ma'am/sir" thing. We know enough people who find it strange that I am not teaching it to my children (though they are copying it from others, and that's fine). It was a relief to move somewhere where we could put Ms. or Mr. in front of any adult's first name and know that it was a polite way to address them. So much easier than the first-name thing, which I do think is rude for anyone except close friends and family.[/quote]
