Manners in the plural suggests behaviour (good/bad manners) and it could not be custom because it would have to be a custom.

Good manners/bad manners refers to the way someone behaves towards other people. Good habits/bad habits are things that you practise on a daily/regular basis and do not refer to the way you behave. For example good habits are considered to be: taking exercise/eating fresh food/being tidy. Bad habits are considered to be: smoking/drinking too much/ eating potato chips.

Good manners vs. Bad manners #7 (permalink) Tue Jun 09, 2009 17:44 pm   Good manners vs. Bad manners
 

what is the difference between
1) It is considered bad manner to shout at someone

2) It is considered bad manners to shout at someone

manners= means behaving to others in a good and impressive way
there are many types of manners
and shouting at someone is one among them right?
so shouting at someone is a bad manner among the bad manners?

isn't it right?

or should we always use the word MANNERS [the plural form] in English? and there's no usage like a "bad manner" [a singular form]?

Please help to clarify me

thank you my teachers

Manners is used to indicate that what is being done is only one of the many things that can be displayed in a person with bad manners.

You can act in a disorderly manner (way/fashion), but in doing so you demonstrate one of your bad manners.
