## Resource

On today's show, we take your questions on what to say when someone thanks you for a sympathy card, whether a host should ever refuse a guest's request for pepper at the dinner table, and if Mexican Coca-Cola has a place at a black-tie wedding. For Community Members, we've got a bonus question about when it's appropriate to include degrees and professional certifications in your email signature. Plus your weekly etiquette challenge, an etiquette salute, and a postscript conclusion where we finish the Elizabeth Post introduction to the 1969 replica edition of Emily Post’s original Etiquette. emilypost.substack.com Learn more about your ad choices.
