Salutations are a way to greet another person in written or spoken language. They can be informal and colloquial ("Hey sport!") or formal ("Dear Sirs/Madams"). Some salutations are archaic ("Hail Caesar"), others may be recently coined slang ("Yo!"). Choosing the right salutation can make a big difference in how your communication is received.
