Please and thank you

The average English person will say please and thank you at least 200 times a day.

We even have a saying, "Mind your ps and qs."

If you don't say "please" when asking for something, someone might say, "What's the magic word?"

You can even say, "Pretty please."

"Thanks" and "ta" are very informal.

In the UK, "You're welcome" is a common response to "Thank you".

In the US, "No problem", is a common response to "Thank you".
