It certainly is a good skill to learn.
It will sound odd when I say this, but my real life always has sounded like the civility guidelines to a large degree. My husband and I talk that way to each other. I talk that way to everyone really.
But I'm always learning from Babble, even so. Learning new ways to hear things, and new ways to think about things. And I'm often inspired to new expectations for myself when I see others being civil in ways that hadn't even occurred to me.
