[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does adding a Mr or Ms do? It isn’t respectful. Respect is behavior. Some of the most disrespectful stuff I’ve heard ended with “sir.”[/quote] It's not a matter of feeling respect. It's a matter of feeling a sense of power or authority over another human being.[/quote] This is a very odd assertion. Did you get sent to a military boarding academy or something?[/quote] It's not odd at all. Someone that doesn't know you can't meaningfully respect you. A child is not conferring respect by using a title like Mr. and Mrs., and no rationale person could look at the behavior of kids (and adults, for that matter) and assume otherwise. But it is a way for someone to verbally express a deference to authority.[/quote]
