0 Today when I was stepping out of a building, I helped to hold the door for a lady behind me. 02 br
00 Then she said: "Oh Thank you so much! /' 00 ʃu 00 v 00 ɜ 00 ri/ isn't dead。" 02 br

00 I don't know who is /' 00 ʃu 00 v 00 ɜ 00 ri/, nor do I know its spelling. I only remember its pronunciation is like /' 00 ʃu 00 v 00 ɜ 00 ri/. I guess /' 00 ʃu 00 v 00 ɜ 00 ri/ is a guy who is gentleman and ready to help people? 0-

0 01 font 00 Chivalry comes from 'chevalier' in French, meaning 'knight', as in 'knight in shining armour'. The chevalier highly honored the female of the species. The idea of holding a door open for a lady, at least in the U.S., is supposed to have gone out with the coming of "women's liberation". 02 font 00 0-
