	Chapter 4. American and English Today. 3. Honorifics. Mencken, H.L. 1921. The American Language
		Among the honorifics in everyday use in England and the United States one finds many notable divergences between the two languages.
		On the one hand the English are almost as diligent as the Germans in bestowing titles of honor upon their men of mark, and on the other hand they are very careful to withhold such titles from men who do not legally bear them.
		The governor-general is His Excellency, and so is his wife, but in practise they usually have superior honorifics, and do not forget to demand their use.

		Honorifics in Japanese may be used to emphasise social distance or disparity in rank, or to emphasise social intimacy or similarity in rank.
		Although these honorific prefixes are often translated into English as "honorable" ("o-denwa," for example, would be given as "the honorable telephone") this translation is not always accurate and rarely conveys the true feeling of their use in Japanese.
		As with honorific word forms and titles, honorific prefixes are used when referring to or speaking with a social superior, or speaking about a superior's actions or posessions, but not usually when referring to oneself or one's own actions or posessions, or those of one's in-group.

		As with honorific word forms and titles, honorific prefixes are used when referring to or speaking with a social superior, or speaking about a superior's actions or possessions, but not usually when referring to oneself or one's own actions or possessions, or those of one's in-group.

		Japanese honorifics have commonly been treated as direct indexes of contextual features, such as status difference and the degree of intimacy (Ide, 1989; Niyekawa, 1991, etc.).
		Many "deviant" uses in these data suggest that the use of honorifics is not directly governed by any particular social variable.
		For example, referent honorifics may be used to index (indirectly) different social meanings, such as the referent's power, distance toward the addressee, the speaker's class status, and speech-act types.

		Guu." Furthermore, removing the "-san" honorific eliminates the subtle difference implied in Haré's tone when he chooses to use a casual "Guu," or a slightly more formal "Guu-san" form of address, or the distinction between when he's directly addressing Guu and when he's talking about Guu to other characters.
		But intentionally retaining select Japanese honorifics and terms in an English subtitle translation, for specific reasons, suggests, to me, a concern with expressing the exact meaning of the Japanese dialogue instead of conveying an approximation of the Japanese dialogue.

		The metaphorical (honorific) vy has the same syntactic properties as plural vy; what is overwritten is the semantics of the pronoun.
		The constituents of the predicate that exhibit morphosyntactic agreement with the pronoun have, like honorific vy, their semantics overwritten to indicate their form is being used metaphorically.

		Because the college simultaneously ended departmental honorifics and changed the number of required honors seminars from six to four, it is unclear how much of the increase was caused by students wanting the honorifics and how much was due to the less demanding seminar requirements.
