Have you ever visited the south or met some people from the south? An interesting thing that they say down there; one is “yes, ma’am” or “yes, sir.” Many people refer to each other as yes, ma’am, yes, sir. This is how they speak. It’s interesting. There are also some countries that won’t call you by your first or last name. They’ll call you Mister and Miss. Titles that are given to people.

The father, for instance, will ask something of the daughter and she’ll say, “Yes, sir,” or the mother will ask something of the child and the child will respond, “Yes, ma’am.” (more…)
