Master Speaker or Mister Speaker? #1 (permalink) Thu Apr 01, 2010 1:35 am   Master Speaker or Mister Speaker?
 

Hi all of you,

Do you say 'Master Speaker' or 'Mister Speaker' ? I think both are good.
You could also say 'Madam Speaker' a few years ago it was Betty Boothroyd.

Thanks Detlef

But what do you mean by saying that? Anyway, I'd rather use mister speaker as master seems to refer to someone that has a wide knowledge.

It's going to be "Mister". "Master" was used until more than half a century ago for addressing boys under 12 years old, but I haven't heard a boy called "master" since I was a child myself, and then only on the envelope of a letter.
