What is this "Hey" nonsense?

I have noticed every once in awhile someone will lead off with this "hey" at the beginning of an email or a text message. Since when did people start using this? I don't think it's proper. Do I look like a horse to you? Maybe I'm a little bit stuffy? smh.😉🐕☝

I don't like emails that start with "I hope this email finds you well" Who talks that way? Just please get to the point with your email. And I find scammers often start their email this way

@Jim-from-Ohio yeah they are almost saying that they expect us to be sick or something. Clowns.

Hey, that’s the way the world is going. Texting has changed the way we communicate - and not necessarily for the better. I find myself cheating on proper sentences these days whether it is texting, e-mailing or posting here. But at least I can still write something out with a pen or pencil——— I think that ability is also slowly being lost with technology.

It might be a little stuffy...........I use Hey quite a bit. For me its just a different way to greet instead the old boring HI or Hello.

Hey for me is just a more familiar greeting than Hi or Hello.

That still qualifies as a proper greeting at Kramer’s bank😜

@strongsilence I think you are correct. An old timer told me years ago that the kids who attended one room school houses many years ago probably were more educated than many of the current students.

I tend to type the way I talk, and I use Hey as opposed to Hi or Hello quite often.

Per AI: "Hey" is generally considered acceptable in a text message, but may be too casual for a professional email unless you have a very informal relationship with the recipient; in most cases, "Hi" or "Hello" would be a better choice for a more formal email setting.
