I don't think the word "Hi" is English yet it's the ubiquitous greeting in the US (and unfortunately over here in the UK also). Why do Americans write "meter" for "metre", " thru" for "through", "dove" for "dived" , "I've gotten" for " I've got", etc, etc? Somehow I don't think the Pilgrim Fathers brought all that over from the Old Country! Americans speak American and we speak English ... 'nuff said! Peter, G3PHO 'Hi' is Scandinavian. Ian. -- |
