Here's why:
* Pulchritudinous is a formal word meaning beautiful or attractive. It's not usually used in casual conversation.
* Greetings are usually informal. We use casual terms like "Hey," "Hi," or "Hello" to start conversations.
Using "Hey pulchritudinous" would come across as:
* Awkward: It sounds like you're trying too hard to be fancy or poetic.
* Unnatural: People wouldn't expect to hear this greeting in everyday life.
* Potentially offensive: If the person you're greeting doesn't find it flattering, it could be perceived as condescending.
It's best to stick with standard greetings like "Hey," "Hi," or "Hello" unless you have a very specific reason to use a more formal greeting.
