An 86-year-old British grandmother’s adorably polite Google search has gone viral thanks to her grandson, Ben.
May Ashworth of Liverpool, United Kingdom recently asked Google to “Please translate these roman numerals mcmxcviii thank you,” Her grandson Ben happened to open her laptop and see the hilarious Google search on the screen. Ben was so amused by the Google inquiry from his Polite Grandma that he took a screen shot and shared the following image and caption on his Twitter account:
