""For an example of Politeness Levels in action, see the example below.

Japanese Teacher: Good morning, Harry.

Harry: Good Morning.

Japanese Classmates: (gasps of horror and shock)

The bottom line is that Politeness Levels are completely beyond your understanding, so don't even try. Just resign yourself to talking like a little girl for the rest of your life and hope to God that no one beats you up.""
