Etiquette for Young Men

[BrMac]

I am studying under a doctor that can't spell to save her life. I know she's incredibly smart, but her communication skills (including the spelling) are lacking, and it impacts how we view her.

The point raised earlier about cell phone etiquette is an important one. My generation bridged the gap between cordless phones being a big deal and having the world's wealth of knowledge in your pocket at any time. I don't need to be glued to my phone at all times, but I have classmates who instinctively (almost reflexively) stare at their phones if they're not directly addressing you.

Thanks for all of the wonderful suggestions! I don't think I'll have the leeway or time to delve deeply into grammar, spelling, etc., but I can at least stress their importance!

How to shine shoes, modes of address, and the proper greeting are all things I had completely overlooked but will now be sure to include. Grooming was one I'd considered, but I'm curious to know what specific things you would include (e.g., pull up your trousers, how to shave, how to iron a shirt).

I'm working on a list of learning objectives - I'll be sure to post them once they're ready for your review and for additional recommendations.

Thanks again!
