DA darlin'. just a kind word of advice from a...uhum...mature woman. we DON'T like to be called ma'am. LOL!!
the first time i was called ma'am, i was in my mid 30's and it was from a clerk at the corner store. i said excuse me? do i look like a ma'am to you? i couldn't believe it!!
that word ma'am makes women feel old. as a matter of fact, we were taught NOT to use that word in customer service. it really is an insult.
as for what the black people are called in canada? i don't know? they're simply called people as far as i know.
i don't understand why the americans call them african americans because they come from all over the globe, not just africa.
people are people as far as i'm concerned. i hate labelling.
