The world has been giggling quietly for the past few days about a grandma who’s very sweet Google search went viral.
May Ashworth from the UK typed something into the search engine and didn’t forget her manners – she started it with ‘please’ and ended with ‘thank you’. So sweet!
And as any millennial would, her grandson, Ben, snapped a pic and posted it to Twitter when he saw.
Ben told the BBC: “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 thought that by being polite and using her manners, the search would be quicker.”
Turns out her polite courtesy didn’t go unnoticed by Google UK.
They responded: “Dear 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.”
Even the official Google Twitter account caught on!
Is this not the cutest story you’ve ever seen?!
