What's the magic word? This is a way to tell someone "please". "Please" is such a powerful word. It's one of the first words that children learn about. People sometimes get offended or upset when "please" is missing in the expression. This is especially so when the other person is making a request. How do you fell when a person says, "please"? Or when a person doesn't say, "please"?

The majic word is Please and yes Please is a very powerful word, it tells a lot about the person you are dealing with and the way that they were taught while growing up, and yes I do get upset if I do something for anyone and they do not say Please, and if I am with other people and they do not say this I will tell them to say it "Please".

Yes, I too think "please" word has some psychological effect on human beings. I just get irritate when some say or ask me without using "Please". So its a powerful word. Same is the case of "thank You". What is your take on this? Do feel offended when somebody avoids to say "thank you"..

please is kind of polite word so that another people dont feel offense about our words or sentences, but if we often using it, it also wont be good for our selves too. its like we not too confident about the words that we gonna say. just put "please" word in the right contex and situation so that you can be a wise person, and i m sure you will able to find the "right" condition

I am a mother so it's an automatic response from me to ask politely and say thank you and you're welcome. Can't have my children learning to be rude.

It is the mark of good manners to remember both please and thank you, sadly so many people do not use it nowadays and it is not acceptable. My housemate I pull him up on it whenever I do something for him like make him a tea, I always make him say please. If he asks me to do something for him and he doesn't say please I just ignore him. I always teach children to say please and thank you, if you instal this early then they will grow up being polite. It is not a difficult word and should be used always without exception.

I like it when people say please, and thank you as well. its just words but they mean a lot when someone is asking you to do something for them. i mean if they are asking you to go out of your way to get you something or do something for you then th eleast they can do is tack on a little please. lol. i am always polite to people unless they are rude to me. and sometimes even if they are rude to me, when i'm at work i have to be polite no matter what. i find rude people get mad when they are being rude and you continuously smile and thank them, and appoligize. I thnk it really makes them even madder! lol! why do you suppose that is ? cause you can keep your cool and they can't ? maybe we should make tha ta discussion!

my mother raised us to have manners and to use them! please and thankyou were a must. and i feel the same way as an adult. it shows respect if nothing else. and if someone doesnt say please (if they are not a child) then i get them whatever it is they are asking for and make a point of looking right at them and saying "your welcome" that way they know that they should have said please, and it was impolite not to have..and hopefully they will say it the next time around! lol if its a child i always tell them that they forgot a very important word in that sentence...please!!
