It's been ingrained into my brain to address people as Ma'am or Sir.
Me too! I went to a private high school, so especially in the younger grades, when you don't know the teachers' names you call them sir/ma'am/Ms, and when you get to the higher grades you just call them sir/Ms/ma'am because it is quicker than saying Mr/s What's-his-face.
OT: I type them, because they feel different in text than in voice, so they better suit the tone I'm going for when I use them. I do occasionally use words like 'sup' or 'bro' in general conversation, but mainly when I'm going for a 'chillin' tone.
Captcha: Also ialsli .... okay, first off, what came before that that it warranted an 'also', and secondly, how is 'ialsli' in any way coherent under any reasonable context.
