Heavens. The world has become so rude that the Emily Post Institute has stepped in to put a polite damper on cellular-phone volume, children behaving badly, four-letter words, unruly shoppers and caterwauling in general.
…
A U.S. News & World Report survey found 88 percent of us think incivility is getting worse, a trend confirmed by Good Housekeeping magazine, which found 79 percent felt society had gotten ruder. An ABC News survey revealed that 85 percent of the respondents felt the world would be better if we said “please” and “thank you” more.
So, please, let’s all be a bit more civil. Thank you.
You are certainly welcome. Continue your good work, please.
