Also, there's no preview. So probably the san was added inconsistently in several different templates.</p> It’s probably an artefact of the translation system, where a phrase can refer to sub-phrases, and it’s not the same person that translates the phrases.

I'm from a Latin American country, and while doing some research for a Grammar assingment for my English teacher's training course, I ended up clicking on this blog... and I really couldn't avoid reading this.... To tell you the truth (or, rather, what is true to me), being a japanese-blooded (does this word even exist?) girl, I can't let you make such a mistake! My Japanese knowledge is rather basic, but I can ensure you that normal people do not add "san" after "san" after somebody's name. It's as if someone like...let's say I, came to you and told you "Did you know? People in England say "Good morning MrMrTompson" or "Excuse me, MsMsMs Donovan" ... It's just...not normal, is it? ... Actually, it does sound funny, but there's no way anybody would say that, right? Anyway, it's just for you to know... Hope I did not offend you. Oh! And sorry for not writing anything in japanese... I'm not really good at using computers, so I don't know how to configurate it...hehehe...</p> Hello!
