Really? I thought Convenience was the sage of China!
Sage is nice in stuffing.
Funny.
Convenience? Maybe Confusion for some after 1949.
Sage has many uses in the Native American worlds besides
as stuffing.

There are two distinct renderings for “sifu”, the first is a religious/martial term meaning teacher/father and is appropriate for male teachers. The second is a more widely used term meaning teacher and can be employed for a male or female teacher, or respectfully for an individual of particular skill (cook, mechanic, taxi driver).
Simo is teacher/father’s wife, so is NOT appropriate for a female teacher. Yang Jwing-Ming once gave the term for a teacher’s husband in IKF, but I don’t remember it.
In sum, call your sifu sifu.
