For the second example, the authors argue that using first-person plural we "creates the sense that the burden of the request is shared between speaker and addressee." Your Task: Review the table and respond to the following questions: 1. What's your reaction to this project? How helpful would you find this program? 2. How do you view the revised sentences in column three: are they natural and better, stilted and insincere, or something else? 3. Why aren't people more polite in their writing? In other words, why do we need this program-or do we? Devote AT LEAST 3-5 sentences to answer each question. As with all other work in this class, proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation are required. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have devised a technique that's designed to automatically make written communication more polite. They used a data set of half a million e- mails exchanged by Enron employees, which were made public as part of legal proceedings against the company resulting from its corruption and fraud scandals, to develop an automatic politeness transfer engine for text-based communications.
