Subject: RE: BS: Language Pet Peeves part II
Noticing an increasing tendency in TV dramas for people to address each other as “Hey”. Think I first noticed it in an Australian soap, but it has crept into the latest episode of “Shetland” even. How many of you say “Hey” when you mean “Hello”? I would usually say “Hi” rather than “Hey” - do real people actually do it?
