I am noticing that many people post some thread in this Forum (and not only here) that are answered or not but the fact is, they don´t return to thanks. I say that because there is a thing called "netiquette", that is, you come to web and ask something to someone or only by communications´ sake; if you (me too) don´t use the mininal of etiquette you may lose a friend or not even make one. So, the first thing in a English class is the greeting, the thankings and the farewells, if we don´t observe these social rules we can be regarded as an egocentric in any country. That happens perhaps because we live in a country that is very informal and we don´t need to be that polite. But remember, etiquette didn´t lost use, it is always fashionable; if we travel and need somebody, this is even more important. See you all. Have a nice week. |
