I think it was a typo.dhranch wrote:When I read phrases like the "With all due respect sir" intro above, I often get the feeling that the writer is meaning the opposite - especially, in this example, considering the rest of the sentence. I think the usage is characteristic of some groups of people, especially the use of "sir" in a derogatory manner. I translate, in this case, "With all due respect" to include "(which is not much, in my opinion)". Am I mistaken?longtooth wrote:Welcome to the board.[...]

LT should have used a capital "S" on sir.
In haste, he does this quite frequently.
We tend to forgive him.
