Some guy got the shits with some door person calling him mate here. Suggested banning it or something. I think everyone in Australia through a piece of s### at him.

Mate is an awsome word. Goes for all situations.
Actually, it was a polly and one of the parliamnet house employees called him mate, so a memo was sent around to all the staff there officially banning the use of the word mate. Two day after the media got hold of it, it was officially retracted. Otherwise, you're entirely right. When I used to have to do customer service I'd call people mate all the time, or cob. Never, ever "sir".

Damn straight.

I use sir sometimes for uptight older people. I see it almost as an insult rather than respect.

Pff. Marx doesn't give tips on how a lady should cultivate her moustache, nor on the finer points of pipe-smoking.

On a side note, is there a pronunciation difference between u and U?

Nope. And the plurar for informal is "jullie", and the plurar for formal is "u" as well.

And hence we can explain the failure of Communist Russia.
