Doubled honorific
double-keigoon by defaultJapanese
A Japanese verb with the same kind of honorific applied twice
Example
Flagged
部長がおっしゃられたとおり、来週から始めます。
What chaff prints
1:1 「おっしゃられる」は敬語が二重になっています
Fixed
部長がおっしゃったとおり、来週から始めます。
What chaff prints
no finding
How to fix
Keep one. "Said" with a single honorific is enough.
Why it matters
The same kind of honorific applied twice to one verb. It does not read as more polite, only as awkward.
What it does not flag
Only the forms on chaff's list are checked; a doubled honorific not on the list is not reported.
Turning it off or relaxing it
Silence this one spot (in the document)
<!-- stet: double-keigo — reason -->
Relax it for the team (the reason is kept as a comment in chaff.yaml)
npx chaffjs relax double-keigo --why "reason"
Turn it off for the team (chaff.yaml)
rules:
double-keigo: off
