Google Replies to Grandma After the Most 'Polite' Google Search EVER

We turn to Google for almost everything these days! But never have we thought to be polite about it...

But for 86-year-old May Ashworth, being polite to Google is of utmost importance, as her grandson discovered when using her laptop one day.

Ben John was visiting his Nan when he decided to use her laptop to go online. He came across Ashworth's last Google search: "Please translate these roman numerals mcmxcviii thank you."

As we do these days, John posted it to his Twitter account: 

Omg opened my Nan's laptop and when she's googled something she's put 'please' and 'thank you'. I can't 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/hiy2tecBjU

The tweet has been liked more than 14,000 times and even garnered a response from Google: 

Dearest Ben's Nan.
Hope you're well.
In a world of billions of Searches, yours made us smile.
Oh, and it's 1998.
Thank YOU@Push10Ben

John questioned why his Grandma had been so polite and she told him she thought if she used her manners the search results would be quicker. 

Aw, bless!
