[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pretty sure in traditional upper class England [b]"what" is much more polite[/b] than "pardon"[/quote] No, that's not about being polite. It's a social class marker in the UK. A polite upper class person says "what", while a polite chav says "pardon", thinking he/she is posh. Source: I taught in a UK boarding school for three years, working with a lot of upper class Brits, young and old. The obsession with social class is even more intense in the UK than on DCUM, and their rules and metrics are even more intricate.[/quote]
