21Q - I'm sure you could look up the protocol for any given
situation or manners in various countries and find it on the
internet. But I don't think there's an existing consolidated,
wiki-like site for these. Kind of like how you can look up any
slang but urban dictionary is still really useful. |

Great idea - we all suffer from Inappropriate Protocol Anxiety until such time as we learn (or develop, in emergent instances) the protocol for the given situation - What's quite interesting though is that there also seems to be a kind of shared protocol among those who do not yet know the protocol of a given situation - a kind of naive proto-protocol. |
