Howdy is an informal greeting, originally a shortened form of the greeting How do ye? It was first recorded as part of the South England dialect in 1563/87.Literature from that period includes the use of How-do, how-do and How as a greeting used by the Scottish when addressing Anglo settlers in greeting. The double form of the idiom is still found in parts of the American Southwest as Howdy, howdy. Without regard to etymological beginnings, the word is used as a greeting such as "Hello" and not, normally, as an enquiry. As a result, it's not followed by a question mark. Punctuating Howdy commonly follows these rules: * (i) If Howdy is used as a complete sentence, it's followed by an exclamation mark. * (ii) If Howdy is the first word in a sentence, it's followed by a comma. * In the rural Southern United States, Howdy is a colloquial contraction of the formal greeting of How do you do?, and as such is considered a formal and acceptable greeting for residents of that region of the world.
