inclusive first-person pronoun refers to a group including both the speaker and the addressee, while an
exclusive first-person pronoun refers to a group including the speaker but not the addressee.A speaker can show politeness, familiarity, or a difference of social status to the addressee. This is called an addressee honorific. See also

About
addressee
<
communications> One to whom something is addressed. E.g. "The To, CC, and
BCC headers list the addressees of the e-mail message". Normally an addressee will eventually be a
recipient, unless there is a failure at some point (an e-mail "
bounces") or the message is redirected to a different addressee.
