HOW PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS RESPOND TO “HOW ARE YOU?”




General                                    : Fine, thank you.
Defendants                             : Fined, damn you.
Priest                                      : Devine, blessed you.
Mathematicians                      : Yesterday I was fine; now I am fine. So like  yesterday
Spellers                                    : I know /r/   and  /u/ are characters,  but not /hau/
Grammarians                           : /u/ is countable noun; so you should say either: How is  /u/, or   How are you’s?
                                                 The answer is: It looks like a cup, or
  They look like cups.
Speakers in seminars                 : Your question is very short. Don’t you have other questions for me to answer at he same time.
