INTRODUCTION
ow you greet someone depends on where you
come from.
Americans use the word hello.
Italians use the words buon giorno.
Egyptians use the words al salaam.
The letters in the words of greeting are symbols in each native language,
arranged in specific ways for successful communication. That’s what spelling is.
