British Grandma's Polite Google Search Goes Viral

LONDON (WJZ) -- A grandma in Britain always minds her P's and Q's -- even when she's browsing the web.

Eighty-six-year-old May Ashworth became an Internet sensation after her grandson, Ben John, took a photo of her unusually polite online request.

Ashworth typed into a Google search: "Please translate these roman numerals mcmxcviii thank you."

Google UK later responded to "Ben's Nan," answering her question and thanking the 86-year-old for using proper etiquette.

Google's official global Twitter account also expressed its appreciation for Ashworth's good manners.
