Emily Post updated for age of cell phone

The recently published 17th edition of Emily Post's Etiquette is packed with helpful hints for gracious living in this stressful age and gets into daily issues such as intimidating drivers, cell phone abusers and X-rated e-mails. [via Times Argus]

Excerpts: Although today's manners are more situational, tailored to particular circumstances and the expectations of those around us, they remain a combination of common sense, generosity of spirit, and a few specific "rules" that help us interact thoughtfully.
