Southerner here!! So for me...alot of the time I am being polite...however as Ruby stated...some Dom's have earned my respect, like Sir Chuck....he will always be Sir Chuck! Although on occasion when we are just talking about life in general...I just use Chuck. So I guess it depends on the conversation, as well as at times I am just being polite! Your right Kats! Us Southerners do that alot! It seems that Kaori-san does the same in England tho...so who knows...maybe subs are just polite!
