I'm employing the classic Japanese insult technique of referring to someone by an honorific very high above what their station or actions warrant. I forget the word, though.

'omae' 'tenme' and 'kisama' are all pretty insulting and all, I believe, theoretically honorifics. One of them? (they're in ascending order of insultingness)

Good call on the letter, good call posting it here too.

There's actually a word for "the process of insulting someone by using honorifics far too polite for their actual standing" in Japanese -- I remember learning it when Jake Adelstein tweeted it. Unfortunately, I forgot the word...

oooo keep us updated; I'd like to see how they respond.

I definitely will do.

I actually should get in touch with her. Thanks for the reminder.
