I am a nice chap with my peers.
But the forums I chat on are for English speaking adults.
Some people come with horrible English (some use translating software that makes many mistakes) and are very difficult to understand. Sometimes others come from their country and they have a foreign conversation.
They cannot buy common parts and frequently their parts substitutions are obsolete or are foreign to us.
There are forums in their country that talk their language and use their common parts.
They can even tell a person which "market" to buy stuff.
I think there are only two school kids on this forum. On 5 other electronics chat forums there are none. I get many (too many) school kids and university students sending me PMs and demanding me to do their school work. A few say SIR and a few say PLZZZZ.

The word you're thinking of is "eh," not "aye," but is pronounced "ay" as in "play." It's almost always used exclusively at the end of a phrase, eh? And similar, is always followed by a question mark.Mikebits said:I know it is for American, but just add aye to the end for Canadian.
Take my example. In Indian languages, have second person addressing with respect. Many people writing in English would obviously feel that you is not sufficient to indicate his respect. Naturally He / she tries to put 'sir' to match a respectful addressing in second person. Of course, there is a word thou. b I remember it is only found in historical novels and in biblical scripts. Many times I used this 'sir' while addressing and members used to joke as to when for example 'Nigel has been KNIGHTED!'
Let us be more subject minded till such time we are able to decipher an OPs post, If difficulty, we can always indicate him/her to use accepted General English than the SMS type codes.
I do accept that the typing like 'PLZZZZZ' or ;pleeeeeeeeese' or say 'sooooory' are not proper. and they should correct them while posting or immediately after posting, using the edit mode. the later is to avoid the possibility of correcting the keyboard behavior when it gets old anfd few keys become problematic.
the posters should more aim to internationally accepted standards while soliciting a solution to certain issues they can't otherwise solve.
The way of posting should not knowingly irritate the technical community.
Such self discipline really helps the prospective world scientists and Engineers, Doctors and Doctorates to be worthy and internationally acceptable.
those, who won't agree with me, please bear with my concepts, and if practised, and it would help building harmony among the International community.
My son and daughter never addressed anybody with SIR.
I never did.
My father never did.
My grandfathers never did.
I think only people from India do. A different culture from mine.
Most of us laugh when an Indian school kid calls us a Knight (SIR).Sir,
You are a narrow minded bigot.
Mike.

I am glad that they don't call us a Lord.

Wikipedia says that "SIR was once used ... about 800 years ago. SIR, on its own, is sometimes used by schoolchildren".

I recall hearing soldiers addressing their commanding officer as SIR.
We are not soldiers and we are not Knights.
I also laugh when someone who is "down under" calls me a Bloke or a Mate.
Different culture again.
When I was working in the school system (I used to do a lot of substitute teaching) the administration insisted that the kids refer to me as "sir". It felt weird.
It's commonplace to call your teacher Sir (or Miss) in the UK.
Hi.
I do address my boss or men I do not know as 'sir' with no problem, and I have no problem with mister and madam, instead of the stupid ma'am and get smiles about that. The funny part is the use of Mrs.; whatever the hell that means (-i know-)
