#but 'hello' is derived from the 16th cent french 'hola' aka 'ho there'

I wish vampires were real but for very specific reasons.

for instance the earliest recorded use of the word "Hello" is 1826. 1826. we've been saying hello for less than 2 measley centuries! see I want a vampire who complains about that shit

#the 'same' word with different spelling goes back farther #but 'hello' is derived from the 16th cent french 'hola' aka 'ho there' #meaning 'stop! cease!' and even until the 20th century was used in British vernacular to mean the same thing so #hello is quite a new thing!
