[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 208054, member: 3907"] Jo, I've found that the Miss Manners books have been a great help to me in this regard. Although people think that her advice is all about which fork to use, and how to set a table properly, I've found that she gives very sound and practical advice on handling conversations (superficial, awkward and intense, and everything in between), expressing opinions, being polite without getting walked over, and generally navigating all sorts of conversational minefields...the advice has been very useful to me over the years, both personally and at work. Your mileage may vary, but I like them... I think they're all available at the library, Amazon and other sources. Oh...I've never found your posts to be overly opinionated or offensive, FWIW. Hope this helps, Trinity [/QUOTE]
