Everything I would have said on the topic of the post has been put forward already, so I'm just going to say: I'm disappointed that the post title doesn't begin with "In Soviet Russia".

You sir, have won this thread.

I'm not a sir. Maybe I should start prefacing all my posts with a ♀?

That would be pretty cool, but it was my error, not yours.

As far as I'm concerned, "sir" is gender-neutral enough. All the female equivalents in English are awkward.

Edit: So, what honorific do you prefer? "Madam"?

I am not a Starfleet officer. "Sir" is not appropriate.

I don't really like honorifics. "Miss" would be fine, I suppose, if you must have a sir-equivalent.

You sir, have made a gender assumption.

So have you - yours just happened to be correct. But, point taken - sir or madam.
