Just remember and reply how often do you use this word "Please". Oh its okay, its often used now a days Did you know that, It has a magical effect on the listener and in the most certainity it would click and the person would budge and be more of considerate and moderate to your suggestion and modest request.What do you say, how often do you use it?

I use "please" quite a bit as I am trying to set an example for my children. If they can see that I'm polite to them or anyone else around, then hopefully they will pick up the same trait and use their manners. After all, it's only polite ;)

I use it all the time online, but never with my family. as weird as it may sound I just got used to it. Ever since I was little I never said thanks or please to my family members, even though my parents always asked me to... :) they taught me to be polite since I was little, and I can be very polite with anyone else except for my family. I don't know why, it's just a habit I guess. I don't use "please" with people that are really close to me, so it's actually a good sign if I start being less polite, it means I'm getting closer to that certain person :D lol

I generally use this word "Please" too many times when i'm composing a mail. Finally the whole text may look like i'm pleading or begging for the respondent to do something :S But i was told that one can interchangeably use the word "kindly" with "please". Anyway it doesn't matter for me because in the end my mails seem beseeched :)

I use it quite a lot. My family was quite strict about us remembering to use our manners when we were young so it is just something that I am use to.

I use it a lot. It isn't demanding. Some people tend to tell you to do something, I prefer to be asked. So, I ask. I also say it more lately to emphasize to my daughter to use it when asking for any kind of help. She does good with it too.

i use it all the time... here at home we should always say that, and i use it to set an example to my kids, when i asked them to do something or get something i say please. i say it also anywhere, i think i would be rude if i ask someone to get something or do something and i will not say please. so, yeah, i say it all the time.

I use "Please" very often, several times a day. Why? Because that's how my parents taught me. Whenever I want something or I asks someone to give me something I always use this word. It's a must. By using this word you show people that you have good manners.
