Very respectfully...Mr. Groucho....I agree you might have given english classes...but is it necessary that everyone knows everything about everything?...is it just so wrong to share just any piece of knowledge. I did not cook the story myself......I attended training session on corporate etiquettes..and thats where I got to know that a non contextual usage of this word could offend people. Its more of an American thing...but the world is shrinking-and isn't it good to know etiquette of all the cultures? Even if it is wrong to know ......have I done a grave error in just sharing what I know?
@Rahul Vaid and Abhay.....why to take a suggestion in such an unhealthy manner? Why to create such a hue and cry if someone just shares something? And I don't even care what you say to anyone...I am NOT interested in giving you classes on how to address ladies! I for one ..Its just that I DONOT want to be addressed in a specific way!!...
And when I said that if you do not know about something atleast do not mock it....It was for something else..the way you guys were making never ending mockery (poker schools..like in almost every second thread.)...I wasn't born yesterday to not understand you were mocking me!....And I gave you an example of where it was used in recruitment....I don't support gambling..but don't hate it either..because there is some part of the world..where people take it as a respectful...and even intelligent game..I am not advocating it....but I had just stated a point, that you guys without verifying facts started your never ending "fun" (read ridiculing) sessions.
When I said I expect a level of formality with "guys"----- let me say it direct--I categorically meant it for Rahul, Abhay119 and Lambooji. I was hoping they would understand that there are people who are not comfortable with their comments. I do not have words to describe how difficult I find it to post anything on this forum....coz I feel my words will be taken in a complete different direction....If I argue with them-I get to a level where I don't even want to go.
I am just completely clueless about how to stay dignified while expressing your thoughts in a forum...where some people just think its their birth right to make a mockery of everything-in the name of fun....without considering the dignity of just anyone!!!
I am VERY glad that some people have decided they will not comment on any post by the other fan group. For God's sake please add me to your "Ignore" list too in case I am not already there!! I want to be able to express my opinions without being ridiculed, mocked, trashed, abused or anything.
I never thought the Madam-Ma'am thing would be treated more than a suggestion .....it is not even Uttaran related thing..but I had to clarify it..because the suggestion is being discussed in such a disgusting way. I understand this thread should be closed..coz it is not a related topic to Uttaran...and I would welcome if mods close it coz I myself am not looking for more arguments..or comments on it...I wanted to just state my opinion ..that I have already done.
