[OOC: Ok, this thread has gotten well out of hand. If anyone has questions on terms of address, there is a great piece that Paul Lydiate wrote on the website [access through www.thzero.com/engarde or through www.realmsofsilver.com] under the Terms of Address link. While not cannon, it certainly gives one a good idea of how, when and where.
I do apologize for Mark for any insult he felt he received, none was intended no matter how short and clip the wording may have been.
