[quote=Anonymous]A close adjacent, is it still proper to say “how do you do?” My parents and grandparents would say this in formal situations. My dad and my grandparents on his side had some of this accent. It was always “how do you do?” Instead of “hello” or “nice to meet you”. It seems rather stuffy and old fashioned now - but I also wonder if it’s actually the proper way to meet people formally. I don’t say it because I worry it will hit people in the wrong way. This and a few other quirks I either consciously suppress or have unlearned. Anyone else?[/quote]
