Daily Lesson 5

Greetings and Farewells
Rather than using the standard "hello" and "goodbye", or the more informal
"hi" and "bye" (or worse, "wassup" and "later"), try some of the
following:
     "Greetings!"
     "Good morrow!"
     "Fair day!"
     "Good morn/day/even!" (depending, of course, on time of day)
     "How fare ye?"
     "How now, milady/milord?"
     "Farewell!"
     "Fare thee well!"
     "God be with ye!"  (from which comes our modern "goodbye")
     "Safe journey!"  (to those who are traveling)
     "I bid thee adieu!"

Shakespearian Word/Phrase of the Day:
Belike - probably
     "Belike, 'tis naught more than a loose shutter that doth rattle with
the wind."
