    OT, but as a non-native English speaker, what would you say in a greeting like that if it was, say, 1:00 AM?

    What would you say, “Good _____”?

    Doesn’t “Good night” come with a strong connotation of leaving and going to sleep? (Or expecting the other side to do so?)

    (I’m from Czech Republic and we just don’t have such term.)

      Evening or Morning would work there. Good Night is typically a parting idiom. Even if it’s technically correct.

    Lying fake news media doesn’t want Americans to know about our big beautiful VP candidate!! The failing New York Times once again showing it’s tremendously unfair bias! Sad!
