  • I'd use a comma.

    So maybe you should go without one.

  • Without comma.

    • Garrie,

      If you're referring to a "master of hellos," leave out the comma. If you're addressing someone as "Master," the comma is required.

      Consider the difference between the following sentences:

      "Let's eat, Grandpa" and "Let's eat Grandpa!"

  • Now I'm wondering why you would be interested in addressing someone as "master".

    Usually when I address someone with the attitude that they're my master, what they get is "WTF do you want now?"

    Well - that's unless you are assuming the role as "grasshopper".

    • Well, Mistress Sal, will you be needing another sandwich tonight?

      Did I get that right?

  • if it's supposed to be part of a name, you use a comma.
    For example, How are you, Master Smith?

  • Capital letters can also make a difference. Consider these two statements:

    I helped my Uncle Jack off the horse;

    I helped my uncle jack off the horse.

    • That explains a lot...

      I thought the horse followed Uncle Jack around because he had a carrot in his pocket.
