The Antisocial Socialist

I went to high school in both Goose Bay, Labrador and Edmonton. Everywhere else I ever went to school, it was always Mr./Mrs./Miss Blank. Except in Labrador (and, apparently, at the time, and maybe still, Newfoundland) Where teachers were simply "Sir" or "Miss", the latter regardless of their marital status. When I started in Edmonton in Grade 11, with my oh so slight but utterly detectable Newf accent, I struggled for the first few weeks with NOT calling the teachers "Sir" or "Miss".

Oh, the life of a military brat!
