«Touchy Topics»

live?» They are polite questions. They are not personal or private.
But some things are personal or private, and questions about them are not polite. People don’t ask questions about a person’s salary. They don’t ask how much someone paid for something. It is OK to ask children how old they are, but it is not polite to ask older people their age. It is also not polite to ask people questions about politics or religion unless you know them very well. People don’t ask unmarried people «Why are you single?’, and they don’t ask a married couple with no children «Why don’t you have any children?»
