Keigo inside and outside
Japanese honorific language is relative, not absolute. Respectful forms (尊敬語) raise the person who acts; humble forms (謙譲語) lower the speaker's side. Who counts as "your side" depends on the listener. Inside a company or town office, staff speak respectfully of their boss; to an outside visitor, the same boss is part of 内, named without さん and described with humble verbs: 課長の田中は席を外しております. Some verbs have special forms that learners meet at this level: ご覧になる and 拝見する for 見る; お見えになる, お越しになる and 参る for 来る; 申し上げる for 言う. Mixing them — 拝見される, for example, a humble verb made honorific — is a common slip, even among Japanese new employees, and 二重敬語 (double honorifics) is a perennial topic of etiquette guides. Formal presentations also use written connectives in speech: につき for について, にて for で, をもって for で or "as of." Used with an elected official, they signal respect; used with a neighbor, they sound distant.
