Grammar
Capital 'S' in the word Sir
Hi,
When writing dialogue of a subordinate responding to a superior officer should you write 'sir' or 'Sir'. Is it: "I shall do it immediately Sir." or "I shall do it immediately sir."
Thank you in advance.

Whatever you do, you need a comma before Sir , in both sentences. If the person is a lord/peer, you might say Sir Robert . If he isn't, a capital isn't normally used.
