"Sir" was never so difficult for me, but I had really conservative parents and my daddy was allways called "Sir" by me especially when I got older.

Master and Mistress however, those took some getting used to. lol

Outside of recieving imediate hard disipline on the spot to rienforce the use of appropriate titles under the auspice of a dominant in an actual training enviroment (which by the way was very very effective if not a bit brutal and relies more on fear for motivation as opposed to love) and however much fun the method Oz suggested can be the one jeanne mentioned is the only one that has ever worked for me when trying to disipline myself to become accomplished in the use of the desired honorific.

I used to use a mantra every morning when I woke up for it and everytime before bed as well as any time I heard his name or read it in print, mentally crossing it off and replacing it with his title. Additionally I used to wear a rubber band on my wrist and "SNAP" it whenever I messed up while thinking or talking about him during the day.
I filled many a notebook up with conversations to my "Master" amswering his questions as if in his presence.


You will know you have really got it down pat when you call him by his honnorific in public without thinking about it and get all embarressed. Then its time to start to learn when and where its appropriate to use which is a whole other can of worms.

Good luckadoodles!!
