  I would now refer to every male over 40 as madame and see who gets offended.

  Mr, Mrs, Ms really are not used much anymore. We have become much more informal in society.

    I prefer being hailed with a greeting of ‘oi oi saveloy!’

      A professor asked if I prefer “Miss” or “Mister” (because nb) and I accidentally said “ya boi” without thinking so now I have a professor that calls me “ya boi Rogers” every time I see him.

      I would do my best to accommodate that because that would be fun. I try to accommodate everyone’s request because it’s manners.

        Its funny, my mom used to say ‘everybody has three names, the one thirm mom gave them, the one the like to be called and sorry, I didn’t catch your name’

        Somw how it doesn’t apply to pronouns though that would be crazy.

      I’m partial to “Yo!” myself.

    Disagree. Prefix appears on almost all forms.

    Prefix, last name, first name, other names, DoB.

    I think this largely depends on what region you live in. In many parts, it’s still very common, while others it’s more limited to filling out forms.
