I heard about this controversy on George Hook (Newstalk) yesterday. He had some American "shock jock" on who ridiculed Senator Boxer for objecting to the term Ma'am.
These terms (and their usage) are very common in the US (especially in the US military) but what do aamers think of their use here in Ireland.
Growing up in the Ireland the only people I heard regularly using the terms were members of the travelling community, old fashioned trades men, and school children referring to male teachers . (sir!)
