Hi there, fellow travelers.
I enjoy thinking, written conversation, and Mexican food. My schedule is pretty hectic, but I hope to be able to contribute to some of the discussions on this forum.
Ahoy
Re: Ahoy
Hehe interesting fact ahoy hoy was replaced by hello in the early days of the telephone even the French eventually came over to allo allo or something approximating hello, the fact that Mr Burns still uses it is a reminder of his age and the close run slang war of ahoy hoy vs hello.

God just kill me, and end my anal retentive nerdery.Alexander Graham Bell originally suggested 'ahoy' be adopted as the standard greeting when answering a telephone, before 'Hello' (suggested by Thomas Edison) became common
