Re:Re:Correction for my previous entry
Thank you!
Loanwords sound attractive because they are so exotic, but today, there is too many English words in Japan. Some of them have completely different meaning from orignal English words. In Japan, we call steering wheel(a part of a car) "handle(handoru)"!!

Re:Correction for my previous entry
I am an English speaker from America. I've never heard the word "salaryman". I've heard "businessman" my whole life. It would be a person who works in business, like a salesperson or a wall-street worker.
I think of a white-collar worker as a more generic term to describe people who would traditionally where a white, collared shirt(or dress shirt) to work. This could include more than just businessmen.

Correction for my previous entry
In my previous message I wrote:
"Is it true that in English-speaking countries, the word salaryman means just an ordinary white-collar employee, and that businessman means a white-collar worker?"
I was just going to ask whether the Japanese word salaryman is commonly known in English-speaking countries.
I'm sorry. I AM the person who make people confused.

As for greedings in Japan.
hi! kioku. I'm a Japanese. " How are you "is ya a, (‚â‚ )
genki?iŒ³‹CHj, yo! (‚悤!)=(informal Japanese) in Japan. But,
the young Japanese never says konnichiwa,konbanwa and ogenkidesuka
(‚¨Œ³‹C‚Å‚·‚©)@to the person of the same age or younger. I also
have never said to konnichiwa, konbanwa and ogenkidesuka to the
person of the same age or younger.
There are not so many expression like { Whst't up? How are you?
hi!! Hello!! } in Japan.
