‘Hey’ came before ‘hi,’ and ‘hi' came before ‘hello.’ ‘Hi’ is most likely a variant of ‘hey.’ ‘Hello’ is not related to either. Goodbye.

It's rare for writers to talk about their advances (usually it's decontextualized like the nyt bestselling writer in the NYMag $$ feature yesterday). I'm so glad Scratch is reincarnated!
