Nice, lol.

How dare you propose Wikipedia has faults? IT IS THE QUINTESSENCE OF MY SOUL.

Honorifics are more an indication of the speaker's perception of the relationship, and there is a slant towards whatever is more "cutesy", especially when young girls are involved. Course I could have gone for really close and personal by leaving out any honorific altogether.

Anyways... stop trying to deflect and make with the funny  :-*

Yeah, i am confused about that too.

-san and -kun sometimes they are used by same person talking with someone?

-chan thats for girls iirc, but i saw -chan used with guys too.

Was told once chan originated as a cutesy way of saying san until it became an honorific in its own right. It can be used for both girls and boys; however, the general context is in a cute or endearing manner such as with a baby. To use it towards someone superior than you can be rude.

Course human relationships can become extremely complex, and the usage of japanese honorifics reflects this.
