Canadians ???

I've noticed that some of our northern neighbors preface posts with "sir".

From my area we use this when dealing with someone we dont know in a store type setting or when calling to a stranger who does not fit into the "dude" or "hey man" catagory.
It is always in the verbal form and I have never seen it used in text.

Is this a common way to write up thar ?

Just curious.

Well sir Roof it's quite common when conversing with elder folks. Unfortunately I've never been addressed in such a manner

Bah. The best canadians are those speaking french, sir. So no "sir" for you, sir, but rather "monsieur".
