Introductions of Sorts

Hello My Dear Readers (though I realize there may not be any of you yet)

Hello this word by definition is a greeting but not everyone uses hello to greet others. There are so many words such as Hi, Hey, Yo, 'sup, 'ello, g'day, Aloha, Cherrio, Konichiwa, among many others. Each of these words defines hows you present yourself and gives the person whom you are talking to insight into your life. 

For example: If you greet someone with the word "Aloha" you maybe a person who lives in Hawaii, recently came back from Hawaii or a Surfer. (None of these are concrete reasons just probable one)
Though for some people, we have an affinity with a certain culture. And because of that affinity we tend to use words from that culture to greet each other.

In the nerdverse this can lead to using greetings from tv and movies; such as "Live Long and Prosper" and "May the Force be with You" Or if you happen to be a fan of Anime you may use Japanese to greet someone "Konichiwa"

I prefer to switch it up every now and then. But by far my favorite term of greeting is "'ello". I believe that my long time love of Harry Potter and lovely city of London has influenced me so. Or just maybe I am way too lazy to actually use the "H" that traditionally begins that word.

By now I have realized that I haven't told you a single thing about myself other than my preference in greeting. Oh Dear! How rude of me not to introduce myself! I am Mack G. Nerd Extraordinaire! I welcome you to my Blog as I journey though the trials life. 

Thanks for Reading!

p.s. 'ello!

  1. Nerd Extraordinaire?
    Why, my dear Mack G, I was under the impression that -I- was the world's only Nerd Extraordinaire.
    However, I would be more than happy to share my dorky title with you, as we are both fans of Harry Potter and time-travelling. :D
