Japanese Forgetting To Be Polite?
Date: 2/7/2005
The UK's Guardian Newspaper reports the Japanese have become so poor at speaking their own language that they may soon have to refer to a government manual for advice on how to be polite. A damning report issued by a cultural affairs agency panel says that although most Japanese believe keigo - honorific or self-effacing speech - would remain an important part of their language, many are using it incorrectly. Traditionalists blame irreverent TV variety shows, manga comics and a general decline in educational standards.
