Hey (that is your greeting I used you know?) Mine would be Hi or Hello -even that is just English. It certainly isn't Yo! or any other "americanisms".

In my actual area where I live at the moment they say 'Eyup me duck!' To a man OR a woman OR a child. And this is a friendly greeting that also warns you that they have some knowledge that you probably should respect. But if you reply in the right way (it's more the tone of voice, IMHO) they smile and keep going and it leaves me (personally) feeling a little less paranoid.

I know that was off topic a little but I really do hate this scanners idea - it is the thin end of the wedge IMHO - what's next??? They are already mapping the entire human genome - do you know these things here???

It may leave us wide open, to GOD knows what!!!
