Mr.

Mister, usually written in its abbreviated form Mr. (US) or Mr (US & UK), is a commonly-used English honorific for men under the rank of knighthood. The title derived from earlier forms of master, as the equivalent female titles Mrs, Miss, and Ms all derived from earlier forms of mistress. Master is sometimes still used as an honorific for boys and young men, but its use is increasingly uncommon.

The modern plural form is Misters, although its usual formal abbreviation Messrs(.) derives from use of the French title messieurs in the 18th century.Messieurs is the plural of monsieur (originally mon sieur, "my lord"), formed by declining both of its constituent parts separately.

Historic etiquette

Historically, mister—like Sir or my lord—was applied only to those above one's own status in the peerage. This understanding is now obsolete, as it was gradually expanded as a mark of respect to those of equal status and then to all gentlemen. It is now used indiscriminately.

In past centuries, Mr was used with a first name to distinguish among family members who might otherwise be confused in conversation: Mr Doe would be the eldest present; younger brothers or cousins were then referred to as Mr Richard Doe and Mr William Doe and so on. Such usage survived longer in family-owned business or when domestic servants were referring to adult male family members with the same surname: "Mr Robert and Mr Richard will be out this evening, but Mr Edward is dining in," but such usage today is rare in American culture but still quite common in others as a sign of respect when first names are being used, the last name is not known, or where English is not the mother tongue.

Bo Nat Khann Mway

Bo Nat Khann Mway (also known by his aliases as "General Saw Lah Pwe", "Na Kham Mwe", "Na Kam Mui", "Bo Moustache", "Saw Lar Bwe", "Mr. Moustache", and "Mr. Beard") is the current commander of the Democratic Karen Benevolent Army - Brigade 5 (DKBA-5), an insurgent group currently fighting government forces in Myanmar.

In 2011, Bo Nat Khann Mway's brigade split from the other brigades in the Democratic Karen Buddhist Army, after he and his soldiers rejected the government's proposal for a "Border Guard Force". On 21 August 2010, two of the original five brigades under his command, comprising of around 300 troops, integrated themselves into the newly formed "Border Guard Force".

"[The Burmese regime does not] understand the language of diplomacy or political negotiations, but [only the language of] guns."
- Bo Nat Khann Mway
