Transformative verbal protocols
I just learned that when telephones were first in use people did not say "hello" upon answering. They said "ahoy".

Hi,
In Portugal in the 50's we used to say ... Bom Dia, or Boa Tarde, or equivalent when first answering the phone. In Brazil, I don't remember, but I don't remember us having a phone in Brazil at all. Assis had no phones yet for residential service at the time, and Araraquara, I can't say, and the pictures I saw recently, did not have telephone wires on the street yet next to the electrical wires, at least near where we lived.
Music is not about notes and chords! My poem is not about the computer or monitor or letters! It's about how I was able to translate it from my insides!

Slovakian for 'hello' is 'ahoj', pronounced 'ahoy'.

Well you'd know that if you watched The Simpsons. Mr. Burns always answered with "ahoy."
I believe it was commonplace to end the call with "tinkerty tonk" as well, although I'm probably lying about that.

..however, people nod their heads in silent agreement, which no-one ever does when talking on the phone.

Also, sound travels a shorter distance. For instance, if you want to take someone aside for a "quiet word" out of earshot of someone else in the room, just move 6ft to the left. You don't even need to lower your voice, they won't hear a thing.

In addition, speaking louder and slower somehow bestows upon the listener the ability to understand a foreign language.

I would also like to add that if I find something particular humorous there may be a throaty/nasally "hmmph!" sound (a la Mordecai and Rigby*) accompanying any air blowing. That would count as a "ROTFL" and/or a "LMFAO". *for the uninitiated... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_Show

I've wondered why the name Mordecai ... as it is old testament biblical.
Also, the best use of Mississippi Queen in a cartoon ever.
