## Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with this evaluation:

* Politeness standards can vary across cultures and contexts - the evaluation generally uses Western business communication norms
* Short or technical communications might be neutral rather than explicitly polite
* This evaluation focuses on the presence of polite elements and absence of impolite ones
* Consider cultural context when interpreting results, as politeness norms vary globally
