Some people are not liking this word, complaining that it sounds too American, or too something, for their liking.<\/p>\n<p>To put an end to this thread, I wrote a very simple plugin which purpose is simply to replace this word, &quot;Howdy&quot;, with anything you like better: Hola, Hello, Bonjour, What&#39;s Up, whatever. Yes, a plugin, to replace one word.
