It is pronounced Ma'ma as in yes Ma'ma no Ma'ma no sir yes sir. This is mom, Mama with no mark. I may not like a lot of feed back I got from this but I do have to respect it. I was rasied that way. Anyone that is over 21 that I know is. I respond yes sir or no sir or yes ma'ma or no ma'ma.

You're incorrect. Its actually spelled:

Ma'am, pronounced as mam, as in "Yes ma'am" or "No ma'am": Used as a form of polite address for a woman.

Ma'ma doesn't spell anything correctly, but is closest to Mama. Trying to come off as educated begins with proper spelling & grammar. You should look into it.

Ma'am would be appropriate, calling someone Ma'ma is just TOO weird!

The word you seek is Ma'am not ma'ma.

Please see this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madam

I am from Brimingham too, and the word is Ma'am.
