Clothing habits are a matter of personal
preference in the United States. Most people are
free to wear whatever they feel comfortable.
Business people in large urban areas are likely to
wear suits or dresses, while clothing in rural areas
is less formal. Most Americans tend to dress
casually when not in formal or business situation.
When eating, most Americans hold a fork in the
hand with which they write. Americans eat away
from home often, and usually they pay for their own
meals when dining with friends.
When Americans greet one another, they often
exchange a firm handshake. They may greet
Strangers on the street by saying Hello or Good
morning. Friends often greet each other with How
are you? And respond with Fine, thanks. Americans
do not really expect any other answers to the
question How are you? because it is a way of saying
hello. Except in formal situations, people address
each other by their given names once they are
acquainted.
Although Americans are generally informal
people, it would be best to schedule an appointment
before going to visit someone, especially in
business. When an appointment has been made, it is
important for those involved to be punctual.
