In Russia there were times when the Russian word and Russian face, according to classic, to meet was not easy, of course, in the world of light and twilight. Then our language was enriched by many French borrowings. In the twentieth century from them in most cases refused, they can still be found in the works of Chekhov, Staritsky, Bunin and other classics of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, but they consumed, rather, with an ironic tint. Today back in fashion for foreign words, particularly those used by our ancestors before the revolution. Making observation about the inappropriateness of some object in this environment, designers use the term “.”. And what exactly means this phrase?

not comme Il faut

Wrong

French expression comme il faut translates as “wrong”. In combination with denying Russian “not” it acquires the opposite meaning (not comme Il faut). Of course, we are not talking about grammatical errors or violation of traffic rules, but the rules of etiquette. With this we have, unfortunately, problems often arise due to the absence of a system of instilling aesthetic concepts has been observed for many decades. What a sin to conceal, emphasizing the technical side of education, our universities are completely ignored such an important part of education, as the ability to behave properly to speak, eat, dress, and other times, old times is quite natural. No surprise people with an engineering degree (sometimes not one), slurp at a Desk, wearing a tie doesn't match the shirt and suit, not able to invite a lady to dance.

Etiquette

The older generation of People know, and young people know the movies that by the end of the seventies in the Soviet Union without a tie to a restaurant is not allowed.
