Re: video

Kind of, yes. Sometimes it detonates respect, like addressing someone as Doctor. But, in some cases, it's considered disrespectful. For example, in our world, teachers are called by the formula of a title and then their last name, like Mrs. Smith. If you just called them like, "Hey! Teacher!", it would be considered slightly impolite and demanding.

Ah. I believe I know that feeling. I'm from a hundred years in the past, so many of these things are often surprising and completely different for me!
