I’ve heard it explained that “hey” used to be more of an urgent way to get someone’s attention, rather than a casual “hello” like it is now, so it sounded rude to some older folks.

Taking my statement literally to try and prove your point, just makes you look petty.
…or it makes you bad at communicating, which is the entire purpose of your comment, and language in general.
Maybe you shouldn’t ride on such high linguistic horses?
You’re right, let’s just continue to sound unintelligent.
Meanwhile, foreign countries can speak better English than we can…
I am foreign. Never set foot in an English speaking country.
You aren’t foreign, you would be if you were to visit them :p
Thank you for helping to prove my point.
Wow, it must suck being such a ass to everyone all the time. Can’t imagine how people who have to deal with you routinely can manage.
