Oct 21, 2011 at 15:16 comment added Golden Cuy As a foreigner learning Japanese, I may as well learn the "incorrect" (descriptivist) keigo, and not bother learning the "correct" (prescriptivist) keigo, unless I plan to be speaking this kind of keigo myself.

Oct 17, 2011 at 9:17 comment added Matt How about something like "What distinctive features of 'manual keigo'/バイト敬語 are considered incorrect by more traditional keigo style manuals?" That allows for the reality that the idea of "incorrectness" is probably the majority view without granting it the status of objective fact. (That said, the title doesn't bother me all that much -- I do understand the spirit it was intended in. I just wanted to explicitly put the prescriptivist POV on record too.)
Oct 17, 2011 at 5:36 comment added Dave @Matt: point taken. And to a larger extent, one could criticise the ultra-prescrivist approach reflected in the view held by purists regarding "manual keigo" (especially when said "improper" forms have probably become the standard). That being said, "mistakes" seemed the easiest way to carry the meaning across in a title. If you have better suggestion, I'm open to updates :-)
Oct 17, 2011 at 1:20 comment added Matt I don't approve of the word "mistake" in the heading here. If you have the kind of job where you have to follow the manual or you get fired, it is not a "mistake" to do what the manual says, even if the manual happens to include language that others may find objectionable (or, more likely, pretend to find objectionable as an oblique claim of social or intellectual superiority over their minimum-wage-earning interlocutor).

There is no relevant word as "combini". If it is transcription of Japanese, then it is kombini. If it it English, it is convinience store.
