I'm this thread's sort of owner...I dont know how to say that in English
My ID is probably different from that of my first post, because of the way I connect to Internet

We have many honorifics as you know. But talking with our each family, we hardly use honorific. And when we talk with our friends, we don't use so much either, maybe chiefly 3 honorifics or so on. One is "KUN" for man, and the others are "CHAN" or "SAN" for woman.
On the other hand, in a social function, we use so many honorifics. Maybe 10 or 20 are used according to circumstances at least, to my knowledge. I can probably understand almost all honorifics, but of course can't use all the honorifics properly.

And thanks to your correcting my English

P.S.
From now on, please tell where you live if possible
