Note
Only the verb takes this ending. The polite please of a request and the please given in answer to an offer are adverb and interjection, and they never become pleases. The verb carries the -s in both of its meanings. One is giving pleasure (the view pleases her). The other is wishing or choosing (she does as she pleases), and there the subject is the one doing the deciding.
He comes and goes as he pleases.
She can paint the room any color she pleases.
