Courteous Language
Courteous language has both broad and narrow definitions. In general, courteous language conforms to acknowledged social protocols. For example, the manner of speaking and the topics spoken about vary depending on whether one is at a formal occasion, such as a meeting, or, simply, chatting with friends.
