Politeness theory has helped me so much, particularly in recognizing that there are so many subtle variations in how people attempt to show politeness, rather than an absolute standard of rude vs polite . We're delighted to bring you a @lingthusiasm episode on politeness!.
If it wouldn't be too much trouble, if you have a spare half hour, could we possibly suggest that you might enjoy listening to this episode on politeness? . In this episode: the secret ingredients that we're balancing to try to be polite!.

It was so much fun to get to answer the linguistics questions of @TomLumPerson @CarolineTheBug and @EllaHubber, I could not have asked for a more excited and charming group of humans!!.
Linguist @GretchenAMcC joined us to help answer one (1) question, but along the way ended up casually blowing our minds, from the origin of language to literally the letter A (see fig 2 for our reactions). Most importantly, we learn why the name of this tiny frog is her favorite!
