Hi
Any difference between 'graciously' and 'politely' doing something?

Thanks in advance
  

Top answer

Graciously has a connotation of someone on a higher level doing something nice for someone below them, even if the person below doesn't deserve it. Politely has more of a connotation of either people on the same level or people below behaving well to those on a higher level. *** graciously provides us with everything for our enjoyment.
