[quote=Anonymous]Growing up in the south, Ma'am was used as a term of respect. While I didn't have to call my parents Sir or Ma'am, it was expected in both formal situations (professional, educational, etc.) and as a polite form of address for general, anonymous encounters. Aside from not being used for children, age really had nothing to do with it. My parents are in their 70's and still address teenagers working the counter at McDonalds or bagging groceries as Sir or Ma'am. [/quote]
