        @avantgame if you are trying to acknowledge a lady whom you don’t know, Ma’m seems respectful. Like, “Can I help you, Ma’m?

        @avantgame Why does the word have to reflect age and not just a simple level of respect?

        @CodeMonkey76 because to younger women you say miss so when you say ma'am it's like saying "you look old to me"

        @avantgame In the south, somewhere around 25, and it's no big deal. Elsewhere, it's pretty much nuclear.

        @avantgame I ditched it for Miss: 100% positive impact. Best case ma’am is ignored; worst: insult. Miss worst case, ignored; best:compliment
