Hello,
First of all I don’t really get the actual meaning of “please”. I understand it as it used to make a polite request. However I have rarely seen any westerner saying “please” on either Lemmy, Mastodon or IRC. where I live using “please” (मेहरबानी) is used often.
I use it constantly in the real world. Not on Lemmy. But I consider this to be pretty informal.
I also deliberately say “I beg your pardon,” instead of “Excuse me.” The former is a request. The latter is mostly a demand, at least in the USA the way people behave.
sudo make me a sandwich…please
Rusty on my reading of devanagari-- is that pronounced like “meharbaanii”?
Much more likely they’re saying ‘thanks in advance’ in the original post or otherwise they reply with gratitude for useful replies and answers.
If they don’t, then yes, they’re probably immature, a 14 year old or just a twat.
Congrats.
