" yet, in spite of all the informality, americans, even in the way they address each other, show consciousness of social distinction. for example, one is likely to use somewhat more formal language when talking to superiors. while the informal "hello" is an acceptable greeting from employee to employer, the employee is more apt to say "hello, mr. ferguson," while the employer may reply "hello, jim." certain other forms of politeness are observed on social occasions. women may wear hats in church. in restaurants, and often when attending luncheons in public places and other public social functions except those that take place in the evening.
