Let's hear it for the South!<g>

>Wow, don't know that I could've remembered all of that! I would probably just have used 'BOSS.' *G*
>Here you seldom hear 'SIR' except in the South where I hear it all the time. After 14 years in the south, the only thing I had a difficult time getting accustomed to (and still do actually) was being addressed as 'Miss Tracy' as a sign of respect. I even hear it at work and I always thought it was just the children who spoke that way. Children even address some of their teachers that way. I NEVER would've considered that when I was in school unless I wanted a slap across the hands with a ruler. Doesn't sound respectful to me but then I'm a transplanted Yankee...
