[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm hearing that calling a woman "ma'am" is degrading. My 50yo husband runs a company that builds homes and often, kindly and in normal conversation, calls female clients "ma'am" or the men "sir." The age group of his clients are normally 35+. People are extremely sensitive these days and we certainly would not want to offend anyone. What's your viewpoint? [/quote] I don't really like it but, I understand that people do it out of respect. Just wish there was another word because it feels like nails on a chalkboard to me. I actually prefer a more informal setting and if they called me by my first name ( after asking)[/quote]
