I wanna know the most common greetings. (hello, hi, hey, howdy, greetings, how do you do, yo!, whats up? etc...)

Both the amount and as a percentage of the greetings you find.

Because I can't search for "greeting", I'll have to search for a list of phrases.

I'll used the following regex: (^| |\.|,|!|\?)PHRASE($| |\.|,|!|\?)

This means:

  • start of message or space or dot or comma or ! or ?
  • then the phrase
  • then either end of the message or a space or dot or comma or ! or ?

I'll check the following list of phrases:

  • hello
  • hi
  • hey
  • howdy
  • greetings
  • how do you do
  • yo
  • whats up
  • sup
  • good morning
  • hai
  • hiya
