@TedEhioghae I watched a Hiking With Kevin Nealon video recently and his guest happened to be Sarah Silverman. It went well enough, I guess, until he used the word comedienne. It was in the context of praising Silverman in the most lavish and generous terms, moreover in the precise context of her status as a woman in the comedy business and a venerated idol of young women making their name in it. It really was a solid gold tribute.
Not to put too fine a point on it, she practically bit his great big head off for daring to use such a term, which according to her was an enormous insult, a belittling of her as "something less than," to quote her locution. She went on for a while, and in my opinion made herself look very small in her own effort to belittle him.
My point is that if you're trying to communicate unctuous respect with your would-be correction, I doubt you should bother. All too often it seems they don't want respect, but rather something on a higher tier altogether: trembling and uncertain submission.
