[She's in costume, dressed as a Gypsy] Happy Halloween. I brought chocolate...eat it.

301--Register
Register is the level of formality with which we communicate. We do it everyday, and it's both hardwired and learned social behavior. We are social creatures, and as such we accept the concept of status. Other things factor into our register choices, such as trust, respect, and influence, and even intimacy...
For example, you all know I'm dating the Doctor. Why might I call him Doctor in the lounge here at school, and Ten at home? For that matter, why do I call all of you Mister or Miss in the classroom, and by your name when we are out and about? Consider how you communicates depending on both person AND setting.
