    What is the gender-neutral word for ma'am or sir? When you try to get an attention of a stranger in public, people say ma'am or sir. Is there a gender-neutral word that can be used for both genders? I don't use these words instead I say 'Excuse me!'. Is there anything you can say back to people if I do not want to be called either of these words? When you are speaking directly to people, there is no need to use these words unless you are a store clerk trying to appear polite and professional when they don't feel like. They sound sarcastic because they don't act polite decides using these words.

    I got a feeling that in some occasions, the store clerks use 'Ma'am' or 'Sir' in the pretense of doing his job as a store clerk who simultaneously wants to chat with his while ringing up my purchase in order not to appear rude. I live in New York.

    Some Questions learning English for Native American-speaker's point of view! 1. What is the neutral word to call someone you don't know? If you aren't sure whether you want to use 'Ma'am or' Sir'? For example, when you talk someone on the phone and you want to be polite. But I am wondering if there is a word. 2. Quite often times, when I went shopping at the store when they call me 'Ma'am'. Almost always that person kept on talking to coworkers and didn't even listened to what I said which happened at a different store with the different person. People use 'Ma'am' or 'Sir in order to appear polite when they can't help himself but act rather rude. 3. 'many people' can be also said as: 'a large group of people'; a lot of people'; 'a whole bunch of people'? Thank you for helping me learn! There are many things that I am not sure.

    When describing many people Do you say; ' a large number of people'? How about 'a large number of people'? The difference between ' a large amount of ' and ' the large number of'? Thank you for your time.

    I am looking at a picture of the result after laser hair removal was done on her face. I am commenting that 'I can see redness above and below your lips'. I am not sure if I should put 'the' before redness or not.

    He wrote that he met 'a couple' of UK people'. He is not saying 'all' UK or 'most' UK people are.

    He is telling you about his experiences meeting ' a couple of' the UK and American people.

    If he didn't know you yet, he expected you to be different. Or if he knows you, he's just telling you about his honest opinions on meeting 'a couple' of UK and American people.

    I think he does not hate all UK people. He is stating that he did not have a pleasant experience with or does not have a good feeling about 'a few' UK people that he had met so far.

    Use of 'the' before a noun. 'I can see redness around your lips.' Do you put 'the' before 'redness' in this sentence? Do I always need to put 'the' before a noun?
