Summary
This month, I wrote about 御社 ( onsha ) and 弊社 ( heisha ), two business words used to mean "your (honorable) company" and "my (humble) company." These were difficult for me to differentiate at first, but I have a helpful mnemonic, and a helpful way to understand how they get used: essentially they function as pronouns.
