In a time when “plz” passes for “please” and “thx” for “thank you,” it’s no wonder that people’s use of manners and etiquette has become, well, abbreviated.
The simple treasures of social decency seem to be traits of a bygone era. Handwritten thank-you notes, anyone?
But some things are worth holding on to. (No passing gas at the kitchen table is one off the top of my head, thankyouverymuch.) So I ask, what piece of etiquette will you never forsake? And from where or whom did you learn it?
This could be a tribute to Grandma. A social commentary. A plea for reform. It’s up to you.
We all look forward to reading your work.
Simply, e-mail: editor@hopscotchforwomen.com. The deadline is up to you.
