Montana, the Most Polite State

Social researchers, once again having nothing better to do, undertook another weird study.  This time they wanted to compare the politeness of our fifty states.

The research, conducted by WordFinder, collected Google Trends search data from each state to determine which parts of America most often search the web using polite words and phrases. In addition, they measured the most-searched compliments and terms of endearment.

Montana ranked as the most polite state.

Here in Montana, 270,000 of our searches per 100,000 residents in the past year included polite terms, especially “please.”

Dead last in terms of politeness: California.

Californians conducted a mere 10 searches including polite terms per 100,000 residents.

Well, California, that sounds a little demanding, thank you.
