Hawkland Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hey guys I am currently translating UBP into Norwegian, but there is a reference to Ann Landers on page 50, which I am not sure what to do with: "There is little point writing a book about personal preferences – and we can turn to Ann Landers for a discussion of socially preferable behaviour – here, then, we will focus on the possibility of Universally Preferable Behaviour. " Does anybody know what Stefan means by this? I have looked up Ann Landers, but I am not sure what she has to do with socially preferable behavior, so I am not sure if there would be an appropriate equivalent localized to Norway.

AMR Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Advice columnist, telling people what to do in social situations. But I think Miss manners,(Judith Martin) would have been a more appropriate reference, she is an advice columnist focusing on etiquette. Does Norway have an etiquette authority?
