My first college year I had a business class with a professor who always called each student “mister” or “miss.” I found it very respectful and admired him greatly. Hard to believe he would now probably charged with a hate crime and thrown in jail.

Just as a mind experiment.... If Mr. Miss or Mrs. are disrespectful, what term should be used to refer to someone that won’t offend?

My first accounting professor, a former Drill Instructor, always accented the second syllable of 'mister' with a lightly breathed 'd' at the end so that you knew you were a 'turd'. You did you best to avoid his ire.
