> If I ask "how y'all doing?" I want to know how you and yours are doing.
replyI just want people to stop asking me how I'm doing if they don't care.
It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out that "How's it going" is a greeting, not an interrogative, and I want that change undone forever.
Don't forget to end the conversation with "God be with ye". Or "A Dios".
replyWhat's interesting is you may reply, "hey, how are you?", and lots of people may be satisfied with that. Neither party actually answers how they are, yet the handshake is complete.
replyI refuse out of principle, but agree, that works.
replyI just use "Howdy".
Which is short for "How do you do?"
replyGood point! I guess my principles only extend so far.
