Oct 10, 2021 at 0:32 comment added Acccumulation "Remember that a person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language." That's quite an overgeneralization. Also, I find it a bit odd that people jumped all over me when I said "You should look into professional help, but here's what you personally can do" in response to another question, but apparently it's fine when you do it. Why was my answer "medical advice" and yours isn't?

Oct 6, 2021 at 12:25 comment added Old_Lamplighter @yawnoc I wrote "name" not "first name" for a reason. You are also wrong, because addressing someone by the last name in Japan, Korea, and Germany would all be rude without the proper honorific, must as simply addressing someone by the last name without the proper title in English would be rude.
