Hi Gerald,

Interesting question. 'Manner' refers to style, way in which something is done/conducted as in: He spoke to them in a very rude manner.

'Manners' is a general word for behaviour as in: Bad manners= bad behaviour Good manners= good behaviour. In your sentence:

Show her some 'manners', this means: Be polite to her.
