On a Celebrity cruise, all the personnel refer to the passengers as Sir or Madame (accent on the second 'a' ... Mah-DAWM). When you are served, they offer the plate with a "sir" or "madame."
In fact, they are so engrained with this courtesy that a passing passenger sneezed and without losing a step, the steward said, "Bless you, madame."
Very funny.
MTC, when it is pronounced that way, it is a very formal way to address a female. When pronounced, Ma'am or MAD-am, i HATE IT!
