Why Say 'hello' On Lifting The Telephone? by Officerricky (m ): 11:26am On May 09 , 2013 Nearly every person on this planet, irrespective of their caste, creed, religion, nationality, language, status or position in society on picking up a phone will first say ‘Hello.’ Have any of us ever wondered as to why we say ‘Hello’ on lifting a phone? It may be re-called that it was Alexander Graham Bell, who first invented the telephone way back in March, 1876. Was he then the person who first coined the word ‘Hello?’ There are no such records in history verifying that he was indeed the person to coin the word, and one also tends to wonder about that because the word ‘Hello’ has been used for ages, even when people met each other face-to-face. There is even a hoax mail circulating online about ‘Hello.’ It states that there was a girl called Margaret Hello and she was supposed to be the girlfriend of Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of telephone. And from her name the word originated. It goes on to add that in life we may forget the name of the great inventor Graham Bell but never that of his girlfriend, who was his true love. However, the fact is that Graham Bell never had a girlfriend name Margaret Hello; he had a wife whose name was Mable Hubbard Bell. And the sad irony was she could never be able to use a phone because she was deaf. Also in reality, the word used by Bell after inventing the telephone was Ahoy! It was actually Thomas Alva Edison who first used the word ‘Hello’ on mistakenly hearing a ‘Hullo.’ One finds the word "Hello" as an acceptable form of greeting between people of all levels and strata of society, whether it be your closest friend or the President of the United States or Queen of England or any ordinary person. It would still be an acceptable form of greeting either while talking face-to-face or after picking up a phone. Once this aspect of the word “Hello” was realized, people started to pick up on it and now it is just a custom and to a great extent an unconscious habit. Without a shred of doubt it can be said that "Hello" is the most common word used by every one world over, once they pick up the phone. You can even check for yourself and note this. Also next time, when your phone rings and you say a "Hello" do ponder over it, before you start a conversation. Tring Tring Tring .... Hello...Hello.
