I do not like to have to address anyone as "sir"

[Recluse of Shame]

Perhaps I am a bit anti-authority, but I find it distasteful to have
to address anyone as "sir". In my opinion, such etiquette perpetuates
a slave and master relationship between the person addressed as such,
and the person doing the addressing.

You don't 'have' to, just call them mr. It's a matter of
protocol here the UK, you'd freak out I suppose if you met
Paul McCartney. Not me - I'd call him Paul. On a good day...

Yes, master/slave relationships are not relationships of equals, of
peers, of friends.

Unfortunately, some disagreed.
Back to square one.

expressing agreement.

I didn't say *you* disagreed, have I? *Some* disagreed. Never mind.
I'm used to insults to intelligence because I have a Bosnian name.

Millions died to prove that "truism".

You are bright so it is obvious to you I guess, but I can witness that
it is not obvious to all people.

This reminds me of the times when my Security wanted to kill me to
protect me from murder.

I meant to say, God forbid.

Sir is a demeaning, hard to pronounce word, which has no firm
acoustic foundation, symbolically leaving you 'bending over", anyway.

Of course, us Mainers don't, and wont, pronounce R's unless they begin a
word. A neighbor of mine in Maine had his "celebrity" number plate "Mota
Ca".

Again, I say, I'd like to see a chart of the vowels corresponding to
their geometrical forms. Forms make the sounds, and visa versa, sounds
tend to formulate their forms.

The pharynx actually takes the corresponding geometrical forms to
produce their sounds. This knowledge seems to have been suppressed to
maintain the secrecy of "magick" words. Now, who would do a stupid thing
like that?
