- arantius 11y agoSee a recent episode of The Allusionist ( http://www.theallusionist.org/allusionist/please http://www.theallusionist.org/allusionist/please ) discussing the difference between American and British English, when it comes to the word "please". Brits use it way more than we do. We both think the other is weird (rude, condescending, hoity-toity, etc.) as a result of the difference.
