Okay, you've just convinced me that I never ever learn Japanese. I had a hard enough time with the formal/informal forms in German.
<g> The nice thing is, Japanese people don't expect foreigners to be able to grasp ANY Japanese, so if you know as much as one word, they are shocked and impressed. After that, any little politeness errors are nothing. (This is the only thing that saves me.)
