Dear Teachers,

1. You should reconsider your manners my friend, you're becoming so extravagent these days.
- Is this sentence natural?

Thanks so much to Teachers,

Stevenukd

Typically, extravagant doesn't have anything to do with manners.
Extravagant means to spend a lot of money.
One of Websters Dictionary definitions is "unrestrained". I guess that could be stretched to include manners, but I doubt it.
