Here's a new drinking game.  Additions appreciated....
 
              The Ranma 1/2 Fan Fiction *Error* Drinking Game

[snippity-snip-snip]

"-kun" and "-chan" treated as if they meant "male" and "female"       1 drink
... "Ranma-chan" used as a name by a regular cast member              2 drinks
... "-kun" and "-chan" used for any other male/female character       2 drinks

O.K. I need some help here, I think.

-kun is an honorific for a male that the person speaking to knows well. 
Right? Or not?

-chan is an honorific that is predominantly used for females, though a 
wife/girlfriend can/does use it with her male partner. Right or not?

-chan also can be used for children of either sex. Right or not?

And what/how would you adress an unknown adult female? I guess I'm 
looking for the equivelent of 'Ma'm'. onna-san?
