[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I haven't seen anyone say they were personally offended by it. If you are, what about it do you find offensive? If a child doesn't know what you want to be called and starts with sir or ma'am, do you feel it is some sort of insult? Is it denigrating in some way?[/quote] Different people have different preferences and different beliefs and find different things offensive. If you acknowledge that there are people who don't like to be called Mr./Mrs. Lastname -- and you will agree that there are plenty of people like that, right? -- then it shouldn't be such a stretch for you to acknowledge that there are people who don't like to be called sir/ma'am.[/quote]
