This is the commonly used terminology and what it means. In fact, if you had said such a thing around most enlisted personnel, you would have probably gotten some snide remark similar to "Don't call me sir. I work for a living..."
Officers are not "enlisted personnel". The ramifications of that statement previously didn't completely register for you.
Now, hopefully, they do more completely.

2) My GAWD you're a hoot!
I AM NOT making this an "issue".
I have told you REPEATEDLY that this is not an issue.
YOU are the one who wants to make me correcting you an "issue" when it's not.
I don't know why. Perhaps you just NEED to argue about something, regardless of how inane and pointless it is...

I didn't "pick a fight" on anything silly man.
I corrected you on terminology. That's it.
And now YOU are trying to make my "correction" of your terminology into a "fight".
I don't think it was a "fight", except for the fact that you resisted being corrected.

Do you understand that this is not in dispute?

People would think you could at least acknowledge how much in agreement on this issue we are, but you can't even do THAT gracefully.
Instead, you just want to fight over who is "fighting" here.

Unbelievable!
