Expert commentary
Controversial forms of treatment of says psychologist Elena Lubchenco.

"YOU are for many of us bears only a formal character, and YOU're honest friendly tone. Out of context, local traditions and habits, social background of speakers, it is impossible to judge how to say polite. And etiquette here at all at anything nowadays. It seems that YOU expresses respect for the person. To the parent and strangers made contact to YOU. But why, then, friends, saying YOU, too, expresses respect? Really, respect strangers more than the respect of friends and relatives? Isn't it strange that to God we appeal to YOU, but to every small boss on YOU? Paradox! Maybe it's not lack of respect? Then what?

Appeal to you or YOU depends greatly in all ages from fashion. Rooted this tradition, that of respect we need to tell YOU. But the real true respect does not depend on spoken YOU, but from the linguistic traditions of each locality. Brought at the time appeal to YOU from Poland and France (at different times and in different countries) is now virtually nonexistent in many foreign languages. Although there are countries where there is no appeal to YOU.

Under Peter I vykane expressed social status, position in the social structure, and lack of respect for the man. That's the secret of the pronoun. Much later the human mind has adapted this understanding: YOU-the situation is transformed in respect. And gradually the situation, and the respect began to emphasize through YOU.

And here is included the same human psychology. It is the natural desire to feel the respect of others, to hear to his respectful treatment prompted the person to take the position at least through the appeal YOU. A sort of illusion position=respect in the "vertical race". Society has developed a certain etiquette. Good or bad, does not matter at all. Too much of it is rooted. And appeal to YOU emphasizes the detached respect for the man. It is as if protects us from rudeness, but from direct contact. Holds the the boundaries. But the appeal to YOU on the contrary brings, calls, domashniaia communication. And even is in some way an intimate. Though admits the interlocutor in the comfort zone. Among psychologists as a matter of understand the appeal to each other for YOU and in communicating with the client. It is believed to be a more reliable form of treatment than YOU."
