Can't watch Forward Unto Dawn because...
...they keep calling women of rank "sir." It is seriously that big of a pet peeve of mine. Any of you have this issue?
Just to clarify since most of you do not know. Women officers in the US military are referred to as ma'am.

That bothered me too but I just assumed that apparently that's what they did in the military.

I dont like it but i still want to watch it.

I agree with you full-heartily, but I'm still going to be watching it.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] petarded2 they did it in the new battlestar galactica too, but for me the relationship between awful science fiction and calling women "sir" is merely a correlation not a causation[/quote] I hate you so much right now- stupid stats. OT: True.

Really? THAT'S why you can't? It has nothing to do with the show starring a cast of twelve year olds?

....this is true. And they do this in the military.

I keep on falling asleep.

The U.S. use "Sir" to women sometimes. We also usually say "Ma'am. I know it's funny, but it's the truth. [Edited on 10.06.2012 7:53 PM PDT]

I refuse to watch The Davinchi Code in its entirety because there's a chase scene with a smart car.

Yes Ma'am.

Oh you. OP. You're bad.
