@IT-ADMIN oooooooof it works now, i found the solution here https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=69781.0
i changed the hard disk cache location from /var/squid/cache to /var/squid/cache2, it solved the problemI was just about to link that one
Looking in the logs made it pretty easy.

Obviously you aren't a Trekkie. Also, Mr. is considered extremely formal and most people don't use Mr. in every day speech. I'm sure Scott would be just fine. for @scottalanmiller .

It's just very formal
-
@thanksaj aaah, i saw what you mean, maybe because i'm not an English speaker, that is why i write Mr,
regards -
just for knowledge sake, you also rarely use Mr with someone's first name. Instead it would be Mr Miller, or the whole name - Mr Scott Miller ( Mr Scott Allen Miller).
Now, all of this said - some people have their own schtick (way of being), so you could decide that you always want to refer to people as Mr Firstname, So.... Mr Scott, Mr Dash, Mr AJ, etc.

I agree also that you don't normally do Mr. FirstName. However, that's common to see in a lot of non-native English speakers. No offense.

I wonder, is that due to the fact that in some cultures they last name is first, therefore they would still be following the convention Mr Lastname?

No, generally the reason is that you don't use someone's first name unless you are friends with them. Mr is used in formal situations, so combined Mr and a first name is an oxymoron. The last name, so Mr. Stringham, is considered a term of respect. I really don't know what to make of Mr. A.J. It's like someone is trying to say their my friend but be very formal and stand-offish about it.

Not exactly an oxymoron. It doesn't actually contradict anything. It's just a mismatched use of formality.

I believe that this is true.

My suggestion to use MR AJ would really only apply to either a distinct class difference, I've had teachers do this before, or extremely personal, i.e. really good friends.
If it was used outside these two cases I could see the interpretation as stand-offish.

Yeah. I agree with that.

One of my best friends I call sir. However, the only other people in the world I call sir are people on the other end of the line of support calls. With my best friend, he calls EVERYONE Sir, and with him, it's both a term of respect and endearment. So when I call him Sir, it's just me saying 'hey best bud'. My father got upset that I'd call my friend Sir all the time but that I never called him (my dad) sir. Not that he really wanted me to, but he was kind of offended. He didn't understand it wasn't me being respectful as much as endearing. That's the only other case I can think of as an exception.
-
I don't think of "sir" as respectful, I find it just formal. They don't use it in the south for respect, it's just formality.

@thanksaj was your dad in the military?

I guess I can see why you'd say that.

i think we should change the title of this topic to be : when to and when not to use Mr
what do you think guys ?? -
LOL. I think the easiest guide for those outside the US or other primarily English speaking countries is... avoid Mr. or Sir. They are polite and not incorrect, but they are things that native speakers never use in normal conversation. They are too formal. Nothing wrong with them, but it is a formality that you don't need. IT Peers in the office would never be so formal with each other, for example. And a community like this is even less formal.

Very well said. You won't offend anyone using them, but everyone will know you aren't a native English speaker.
