> ME: stop using words like please, sorry, apologize, etc... > ME: you used the word please, again. stop.

When you're struggling with things like this, try splitting it into two inferences. First, ask it to give you the answer, then run the answer through another inference asking it to state the content and removing words like please and sorry, and provide just the answer.

Often, splitting things like this into two is very effective. First, think things through, then post-process the answer.
