Since the 2010s, this is a sentence commonly cited as an example of the destruction of the Korean language. The subject who should be honored is the customer who ordered the Americano… It is a case where the object called the Americano was suddenly elevated, making it a grammatically nonsensical sentence. Oh dear~ To think we can't even use honorifics properly—how did our Land of Eastern Courtesy end up like this? Actually, this isn't because courtesy has disappeared; rather, it is a phenomenon that occurs because people try too hard to be polite. People tend to use safer, more polite expressions whenever possible to avoid social conflicts or breaches of etiquette. This is because, as time goes by, vocabulary that was originally honorific expressions effectively becomes standard, and in this process, there are frequent instances where it loses its meaning as an honorific. #TitleInflation #HonorificsForObjects #HonorificsForObjects
