My questions: Any difference between "How are you doing and
How's it going?" What are the usual replies for the latter?
The British say differrent greetings than the above or the same?
Many thanks! |
There is little difference, if any, between "How are you doing?" and "How's it going?" The expected response would generally, IMHO, be the same.
The British greetings are the same to some extent, but I think there are probably some differences between the Brits and the Americans and also within the UK.
