Q4 Clue 749 Greeting
Last Saturday, there was a ‘wave for a smile day’. Friendly initiative, so let’s ask ourselves; how do different styles greet by nature (e.g. on the street)?
D-style
Often in rapid pace from A to B. Someone on their path may ‘not be noticed’. Maybe a tiny salute like a nod or a hey. Unless, of course, it is an important person, then noticed and greeted adequately.
I-style
An open style and therefore gives and receives greetings happily. How lavishly is mainly up to the other person. This style dislikes no-return greetings and, in that case, may think, “have it your way”.
S-style
Especially with total strangers or in unfamiliar situations, adopts a wait-and-see approach. Will naturally look a bit away. If the person or situation is known, then warm and friendly.
C-style
Based on the norm, custom or even etiquette, you say hello correctly. However, on condition that the other person does too. Remembers this and adjusts his/her ‘next time greeting’ accordingly.
