Its efficiency ‘hello’ to me is an empty word. But I am not going to say, “How do you do?” to someone to start a conversation. so saying, ‘howdy’ is the hill I am dying on.
To me, “hello” communicates that you would like a verbal interaction and gives the opportunity to mentally switch gears for it before it actually begins. I appreciate that it exists.
