Always separate vocatives with punctuation.

In the overwhelming majority of cases, the relevant punctuation is a comma.

Which vocatives are incorrect?

Pretty much every one.

For example “Are you sure about this captain?” which ought to be “Are you sure about this, captain?” In some cases, such as this situation, the omission isn't merely wrong, but changes the meaning of the sentence.

Thank you for your feedback. I will endeavour to make sure more attention is paid.
