"G'evening"? Who says that?

[Oafish Philistine]

I have never heard somebody abbreviate "good evening" as "G'evening" as Jill says. I know Australians say G'day but this is weird. I don't know of any English-speaking country where people greet each other late in the day with 'Geevening!' Maybe Glitch City has its own slang but it's strange.

See, you've made at least 4 mistakes in that sentence, so why simplified grammar of the future makes you wonder?
And that's funny because English is supposed to be your native language. Maybe Jill considers that acceptable too.

Perhaps...many mistakes I may have made in the past...have you ever considered joining the Russian Orthodox Church? It is a possible option for leaving the nerd lifestyle.

I agree that "g'evening" doesn't make a lot of sense considering the point of "g'day" is that you eliminate the the "ood" in "good" and merge it with the start of "day". Can't do the same with evening. But I can hear "g'evening" working without sounding clunky. Just not as nice "g'day".
