😂 Don’t say pardon? Say what? It’s most certainly considered rude to say ‘what?’. The majority of people in the UK are working class and in these circles ‘pardon’ is polite and respectful - which is not to be underestimated. ‘What?’ however is considered rude and as Tatler tells us “…although accepted high-born wisdom tells us that ‘what’ is the way forward, we recommend approaching it with caution. For fear of looking like an arrogant arsehole.” If you really don’t want to say ‘pardon?’ you could say ‘excuse me?’ or ‘sorry?’ Which is considered the middle way.

Firstly, it isn’t. It’s only rude if you say it rudely. You say it yourself with friends and family. Excuse me is for physically excusing yourself or begging someone’s pardon, which has a particular use, but saying Pardon was the old English middle class affecting French manners because they wanted to seem ‘posh’. That’s why it’s technically not great to say pardon, people think it’s polite because that’s a bad tradition that passed down. Royal family say ‘what’ to people all the time, for example. If you can’t say ‘what?’ and not sound rude, then I’d say you’ve got tone issues.

@@ManForToday speaking of tone issues 😂 great reply it really make me feel great for interacting with your content. Didn’t make me feel condescended to or that you think you’re better than people. I don’t say ‘what’ I say what I say ‘pardon’ because that tradition was passed down through my societal circles, just because truly posh people didn’t like it doesn’t mean it’s a bad or wrong tradition. I would suggest that the majority of British people think it’s more polite to say pardon. Just because the royal family prefer not to doesn’t mean it’s not good manners, the royal family are so far removed from society that their ideas hardly make sound advice anymore. I’d always rather think of what sounds more polite than what makes me sound like I’m not trying to be posh. Finally, your title is about ‘what to say to sound classier’, sounds like your affecting your language to sound posh rather than me 😂

@@attemptingwit I accept it was a tradition passed down, but I'm suggesting an alternative by revealing the real reason it became a (bad) tradition. It's what's called Non-U. How you feel about the Royal Family sort of makes it pointless to reply because that's your prejudice against them, so we'd never agree. I say otherwise, but let's not get into that debate. There's nothing wrong with wanting to sound polite, but nowadays, people think the softer and weaker the wording, the more polite it is, which is just wrong. You can be perfectly respectable, polite, and well-mannered and still use simple direct English. Anyone who can't clearly struggles with that. Only the modern English speaking want to dance around with words to avoid sensitivities at all cost just because they were told that way. Just maybe, question it? And consider the alternative. Lastly, YT titles universally are for SEO purposes and nothing more.

@@ManForToday Very well. Revealing the etymology and history of a word is lovely, but you’re implying people use it today to be posh, which i hardly think is the case. Whilst I do think the royal family is vastly out of touch for the most part, i am in fact in favour of royals (perhaps with some slight amendments). In terms of language being used, language is constantly evolving and I maintain that the majority believe ‘pardon’ to be perfectly acceptable and correct. Of course it’s up to the individual. Should I find myself saying ‘pardon’ in front of the royals I’d hope they wouldn’t be so petty as to think low of me and ‘correct’ me. I’d also suggest that ‘modern English speakers dancing around with words to avoid sensitivities’ is a further evolution of language etiquette, whether it catches on is yet to be seen, though I admire the changing of language to avoid being rude and become more inclusive. I’d be more apposed to changing my language to suit the opinions of the upper class. I’m glad you’re encouraging me to question it, although, I was under the impression that’s exactly what I was doing? And yes, I do understand the importance of SEO grabbing titles etc, but that seems to be your compromise and not mine. Then again, I don’t put the effort into making content so who is to say what I would do? I’d like to say I admire your efforts into ‘educating’ the public on ‘correct’ ways to perform but I now find myself questioning whether it’s fuelled less by joy and more by a desire to be seen as ‘better’ or ‘correct’? Though you know your motivations better than me.

“What?” could mean you don’t believe them. “Sorry?” sounds an apology. “Pardon?” is the best for asking them to repeat themselves in my opinion. Besides lots of English words come from French. However, I totally agree that napkin is better than serviette.

I'm French, I'll say pardon.

Wow, this guy needs a reality check.

Thanks :)

Very good Idea 👍 Thank your very mutch!

Only a scouser would suggest saying what instead of pardon

I'm going to poo in the loo, sir

Saying "what" does sound bloody rude. No matter what tone you say it in. I tell my daughter to say "excuse me. Could you repeat that".

When advice is being given by a scouser you know you’ve got problems

Things not to say when you're British and in the states. Don't say the phrase " when she's getting the strap on, he knows who's boss". Different meaning here in the states

Just say ‘what?’ LOL

Don't say pardon, say sorry... never apologise for anything that wasn't your fault. So pardon is fine. And we have plenty of words from the French language in English. Any word with 'tion' at the end for instance is derived and spelled the same in French as English. Construction, constitution, immigration. Are some examples. That's a learn French quick hack BTW. Thank me later.
