PET PEEVE
“Hey!”
As the years go by, I find it interesting to listen to the dumbing-down of the English language and “Hey”, as a means of greeting each other in lieu of “Hello” or “Good morning” or some other form of understandable communication has been put on my list of peeves.
We are becoming a bunch of inarticulate burpers who are too lazy to form anything other than an unintelligible grunt when we meet another burper, so “Hey!” is now a pet peeve.

“Hey” doesn’t bother me.
I’m not crazy about the comma in “gotta go, now.” If I were to say “I have to go now,” I would not use a comma.
