And that's it.


I'm disappointed with "hello" being {nuqneH}.
Especially since I run the program in Hawaiian and I see "Aloha - nuqneH".
And {nuqneH} doesn't even come close to capturing the spirit of Aloha.

I'd rather a new phrase like we got for "goodbye".
Nothing too special, just something else.
