“How Are You” Is Not Rhetorical

Ocregister

While the whole world usually greet each other with a simple “Hi” or “Hello”, Americans would greet you with a “How are you?”, and when they do, they expect an answer. That does not end there though, when you answer they would expect for you to ask them the same question: “How are you?” This might be such a tedious way of greeting each other but this is very common. Americans love to chat even with strangers, so using this 3-word question as a greeting gives them a chance to start a conversation. Want to know how approachable and trusting they are? See the lengths they take just to show how much they trust each other.
