Well, i usually say hi... when i am meeting with close friends and relative... but hello when the person i am meeting is like a supervisor or manager... or someone important... for me... that is a sign of respect and a perfect way to show a good first impression...

it depeds on who im talking to. i usually say hey. i use hello to mess around with my voice. i make it sound really creepy or formal or something but i usually dont say hello unless im joking around. sometimes i say hiiiiiiiiiiiiii just i have a lot of greetings. for people tio greet me i like hi because i cant take hellos seriously. xD

For me HI is less formal. Hello is more formal and I would say hello if talking to older people or people I don't know.

I say hi more than hello. Here in the southern part of the U.S., we say hey too. I feel that hello is a little more formal than hi.

I also greet anyone with Hi instead of Hello, but if they started greeting me with Hi then I replied back Hello.

I don't know if there's any difference between the two but I often use Hi than Hello too. I think it was because it was short and easy to say or write than hello.

I often say hello, even when I answer a telephone. It comes natural to say hello. However when I write I often write hi instead of hello. © ronaldinu 2008

I say 'Hi'. Because it is shorter and it comes to my tongue almost automatically.
