Polite Conversation in Three Dialogues

"Polite Conversation in Three Dialogues" by Jonathan Swift is a series of funny talks that show how fancy English people spoke in the 1700s. The book makes fun of how people acted and what they said to be polite. It starts with people like Lord Sparkish and Colonel Atwit meeting in a park and joking around. They plan to visit Lady Smart for breakfast, and their silly jokes and clever wordplay show readers what to expect. Everyday stuff like saying hello, joking around, and being witty are all part of the talks. Each person has their own way of talking, which makes the book a funny look at how people tried to be polite back then, and how conversation evolved socially in England.
