@avantgame Given how infrequently I get "ma'am'd", my usual response is confusion and a loud guffaw. #HalfShavedHead #BlueHair

@avantgame I'm a woman, and I get more annoyed by "miss." I'm wearing a wedding ring. I don't care how old they think I am. -
@pronouncedLAHra well that is fair!! :)

@avantgame I use "ma'am" with people in uniform to show respect, and with pre-teens because it makes them giggle. -
@davehogg well that is totally fair :)

@avantgame Is it because they believe it's an age signifier or for some other reason? I've never knowingly used it, but I'm very uncouth. -
@johndodds age signifier. -
@avantgame I can understand that.

@avantgame I guess I'm the odd one out. I am very put off when I'm called "miss." I'd much rather be "ma'am" and use it myself.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@avantgame There’s the real inditement: our culture doesn’t have a general term of respect for women. -
@nnschiller@avantgame I submit that "Ms" is a viable option to cover all bases. Maybe not ideal, but an option.
