In modern American society there `s a tendency to ask not: #Does your wife work?# but it`s more polite to ask:#Does your wife work outside home or in society?#
I found this in one research devoted to modern american English...If it`s true, how to understand the phraseoes your wife work in society? that she stays at home with kids. doing work about the house, etc.? Or something else?
I`m totally confused...
Thank you!
