Is it OK to use "sirs ( plural of sir ) while writing letters as dear sirs, respected sirs in salutation ?

Question

the word "sirs" ( plural of sir ) does not appear in most dictionaries

Answer 1

"Dear Sirs" is perfectly correct when writing to an organization (such as a committee) which you know has several members each needing to read your letter. It would not be appropriate for writing to a newspaper, since letters are assumed to be addressed either to the editor, or the letters editor.

Dictionaries do not include plural forms unless they do not follow the standard form, which is to add an "s" on the end (so "sheep" will probably have an entry for its plural form, which is "sheep"). "Sirs" fits the standard form.

Answer 2

Sir Plural

Answer 4

What Is Sirs

Answer 5

I don't think you can use Sirs WHILE WRITING THE LETTER if you are writing to many of them obviously only one will read it...So you shouldn't use sirs in letters while speaking its OK..

God Bless You..

Answer 6

It is not only ok....It should be also.

But, remeber, our Mahatma Ghandhi Ji's word.....never call a Britisher as "sir"

Answer 7

Of course it's OK. It is plural, and if you are writing to more than one person-that;s plural!
