Politeness and manners - Page 2

Hey Steve

😂😂😂😂😂🤪🥂

I consider myself to be polite and i agree with you 100 percent on politeness.... But if Alexa is just a machine then why does it manner how you speak to it, im assuming it won't be offended if people dont say please or thank you 

Sorry just clocked onto what ya ment

Sorry Martyn but you don't get the point of my post....

When posters ask questions on this forum they will be trying to interact with other human beings who spend their time helping with their queries. Well I expect a little respect with use of manners...get it?

Alexa is designed and programmed to receive a demanding style of questions...we don't expect that style on this forum.

Sometimes, just sometimes, it’s a joy 😂😂😂🤪🥂

Yea a misread it sorry, I got what you meant after I replied. I do read alot of the posts and replies, tbh i think this forum is very polite, although Im new on here I havent read anything that i would consider offence, some questions that really shouldn't be asked but majority is just general chit-chat. I came off Facebook years ago because it was all negativey and nasty/rudeness. 

I know ange...You couldn't make it up sometimes...😂😂😂🍻

Steve 

Haha........ oh it is Ange, I would also  like to thank Tebo53  for his patience 

Elinspain

The thing on here which does get missed by people is the " like " button. I use this a lot as a "thank you" as well.

Fully agree with the topic and people which have responded accordingly.

So for the avoidance of doubt........

THANK YOU

PS. Alexa just doesn't listen sometimes!

Hi tebo53. (as your original OP) I was intrigued with your post ( & have addressed it before).

Manners & Politeness are viewed from which view-point right across the world. I only concentrate on this forum, which is mainly involved with "English" speaking in this country. I do take with a pinch of salt from either sides of Spanish speaking & English speaking overseas.

I have (after well over 25% of my adult life) been involved in Spain & my extended family, much longer. 

Ignoring, (in our modern world of forums, internet, Alexa & messaging), concentrate on the differences of both sides. I have (this week & on this forum) both received & witnessed "English" ( as is:spoken language)  "supposed" attitude.

     Many Spanish have asked me, Why do others say eg:"Excuse me, if you wouldn't mind passing me the salt, please if you don´t mind?" when we sitting at table just indicate or say, "salt" & continue the conversation. 

Respect, as earned, is in Spain assumed, (in my experience). It seems, to me, for many moving here into Spain, seem unaccustomed that assumed respect, when, eg: entering a shop/post office.....whatever, most will turn & will wish you a good day & offer any help they can. If we can offer that on eg: forums, we can promote respect, in whichever way we view "manners" & "politeness".

(In my opinion.)
