More happy, charming writing from another age - post World War II America.
"Good morning."
How differently different people say those two words!

| Good morning from Crandall Hill January 11, 2026 |
There's the person who puts sunshine in a voice regardless of how dreary or stormy the weather, and there's a crab who emits the words as though he might be in agony and wants all mankind to suffer the bitter depths of despondency.
Between these two there are all accents and shades of voice including the bored person who speaks with an effort and the one who tries to be pleasant with no very marked degree of success.
Some accent the first word, "GOOD morning," and some the last, "Good MORNING," and others both words, "GOOD MORNING."
How do you say Good Morning?
-- written by W.D. Fish for his "Golly" column, circa 1945
