It's probably a southern thing, a military thing, a generational thing.
I was raised to say "Sir" and "Ma'am". It was ingrained as a sign of respect. I miss parts of the old formality.
And - mhmooney - I fell in to the old habit with a transgender cashier. She loved being called "Ma'am".
But I see the problem with some who are genderqueer and asexual and androgynous . . .
we need new terms of respect!
