[quote=@Xeronoia] Oh definitely, that was just the example that came to mind. Also fun fact: Dame is the female version of Sir, whereas Lady is when a woman was merely married to a Sir or Lord. I will say that any female-specific honorifics are likely to lack a suitable match, as old english was extremely male-oriented. Also it does when someone specifically says "it doesnt exist in the west as it does in japan". :p [/quote] You don't need to mention that to me. I have a semi-decent knowledge of all the damn ranks nobility has. Well, it [i]doesn't[/i] exist in the same way, as it isn't reinforced simply by having a conversation. The observation is strictly accurate, though the extent to which it applies is debateable.
