One of the first cross-cultural fidgets I learnt in America: the English use “please” on more occasions than Americans do; OTOH Americans expect “thank-you” when English people wouldn’t miss it at all (or would be deploying it sarcastically). So this is one way we manage to sound rude and overpolite to each other at the same time. So, thanks. Thanks!

Rupert Goodwins did the BBC interview on Palladium I mentioned. He says that the Microsoft rep, Stuart Okin said that Pd was being pushed by Microsoft to become TCPA 1.2. That’s to say, not complement or extend, but actively replace the old standard. Anyone heard this said in public before?
