United Kingdom
In the British Army, the RSM is addressed as "Sir" or "Ma'am" by his or her subordinates. In the Household Cavalry, the appointment is Regimental Corporal Major (RCM).
In the Royal Marines, Regimental Sergeant Major was an actual rank (and equivalent to Warrant Officer Class I in the Army) until the Royal Marines themselves re-adopted the ranks of Warrant Officer Classes I and II in 1973 (although the term continued to be used interchangeably for Warrant Officers Class I until at least 1981).

“Because of these convictions, I made a personal decision in the 1964 Presidential campaign to make education a fundamental issue and to put it high on the nation’s agenda. I proposed to act on my belief that regardless of a family’s financial condition, education should be available to every child in the United States—as much education as he could absorb.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“I’ll give my jewels for a set of beads,
My gorgeous palace for a hermitage,
...
And my large kingdom for a little grave,
A little, little grave, an obscure grave.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
