Able, your post contains three fundamental errors. (ie all of it).



1) "ladies and gentlemen" is the accepted form in our society of greeting a group of people, is it not? I have no idea why sexual deviants, dukes, lords or naval officers might feel the need to be specifically included. What about tax officials or butchers? Or crabs?

2) You most certainly are "their" Captain. They are required by law to obey your lawful commands, which includes "sit back and relax" if you wish to be so dictatorial, so as you have command over them...

3) "...your Caprain Speaking" is gramatically incorrect. In this context there can be no capital letter in "speaking" as it is perfectly clear that "speaking" cannot be construed as his name. There might be if he said "This is Captain Speaking", but he did not as you incuded the posessive "your".

Happier now?
