Google may not care whether or not you use “please” and “thank you,” but this grandmother refuses to forget her manners when using the popular search engine.

When Ben John went to use his grandmother’s computer, he noticed something quite funny in the search engine. His grandmother was looking for a numeral translation, however she was super polite when asking Google to find the answer for her.

In the search engine his grandmother wrote, “please translate these Roman numeral mcmxcviii thank you (sic).”

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

Ben John thought the request was super charming, so he tweeted out a screenshot of the search.

“It made me chuckle so I thought I’d take a photo and put it on Twitter for my friends to see,” John told BBC. “I didn’t expect so many other people to see it!”

The picture quickly went viral with other Twitter users commenting on how kind and cute his grandmother is.

that is the CUTEST THING EVER 😭💖

Google even took notice and told him “No thanks necessary.”

Dear Grandma,

No thanks necessary. 😊

Sincerely,
Googlehttps://t.co/vedrVek8nb

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 explained that his grandmother rarely uses her laptop.

“She goes to a ‘silver surfers’ club at the local library to learn about computers and the internet, but she hardly ever uses her laptop,” he explained. “I asked my nan why she used ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ and it seemed she thinks that there is someone – a physical person – at Google’s headquarters who looks after the searches.”

She’s probably the best mannered person on the internet!

Finally managed to get my famous Nan to take a picture with me! pic.twitter.com/DKgEZf5SiU
