I saw your email today regarding manners...Where has 'Excuse Me' and 'Yes Ma'am or Sir' gone? Yes, I live in the south, where Yes Ma'am and Yes Sir are more commonly used. The sound of "Yeah" is so rude, in my opinion. The words "Excuse Me" are rarely uttered from the mouths of children.
It seems like they are not taught to use this form of etiquette from any one, any more. Holding the door open for anyone is also a lost form of etiquette. Heaven forbid that someone offer a kind thank you when one does open the door or hold the door open for someone. The good examples from parents Mom and Dad are not being taught in today's world.
Thank you, for all that you do Dr. Laura!
