Comment on Is it weird that I cringe whenever someone calls my name and I avoid using peoples names when talking to them?
That’s a cultural thing for sure. Here in Texas all women are “ma’am” regardless of age.
In the Midwest, too. I had to learn to use “Miss” instead when I moved East because damn Yankees assing some kind of negative age valuation to “Ma’am” or “Madam”.
