I.E. Calling people "Sir/Ma'am", being polite, being articulate in what you do and the way you talk, etc.

I tend to be situationally appropriate trying to use language and manners that match the people and place. We always have a choice and it's good to use common sense.

I don't call people sir, and in my experience... women don't like to be called ma'am... so I don't do that. I'm friendly and respectful but not proper the way you described.

I am EXTREMELY articulate!!!! i was in communicatins in the legal field for over 20 years!!! So......I had to , it was mandatory to have an excellent grasp of the language and really HEAR what people wanted , often reading between the lines when they spoke. However when i am off.....I tend to relax...thjough my friends say that i do not...lol...but i think i sound like i am still at work!!!! Many people have confused me with TV and radio personalities on the basis of how my speech is!!! Great question!!!! Thanks!!!

Always try to be helpful,polite,use normal language:no streettalk to no one,etc etc,
But with people I KNOW WE HAVE THE BEST OF TIMES,FUN ETC,
DROPS.

I was raised as a southern lady. I'm respectful, I'm polite, and I'm articulate. But that doesn't mean I'm not silly and completely retarded from time to time.

I try to be as polite as I can be with everyone I meet. But I am only human, so I slip occassionally.
