Hi

In emails in English 'Hi' is now the greeting of choice.

How come? What is the equivalent in Italian or Urdu?

My name is Sam Dutton.

I work as a computer developer at ITN in London.

I used to work as a typesetter, and before that I was a temp.

Before that I lived in Australia.

Before that I was a Victorian chamber maid.

Reasons to write a blog

Good

1. It's not for profit.
   
2. It's better than working.
   

Bad

1. I want people to read what I write.

Good beats bad, so that's OK.
