pronunciation[edit]

this often has initial stress, at least in American English. The bare word hello can as well, but this is much rarer and confined to specific contexts. Soap 11:16, 6 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

belittlement[edit]

as per talk:hi there i agree this can be seen as condescending, but its difficult or perhaps impossible to find a usage guide outside of our talk pages where people will say that. Soap 11:16, 6 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
