   Is the first sentence impolite or extra-polite?

   • This latter interpretation is rarely available in the literature on politeness, most of which automatically treats everything that is not polite as impolite. While the first sentence may be deemed impolite, the last, which is extra-polite, may seem to belong more appropriately to the sub-register of formal communication.
