Hell loses its place in everyday life
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Heaven-o, how are you? The greeting may take some getting used to, but Kleberg County commissioners are supporting a campaign to take the "hell" out of hello. County Judge Pete De La Garza said they voted unanimously for a resolution urging the use of "heaven-o".
The idea came from a flea-market operator, Leonoso Canales, 56, who told the San Antonio Express News, "I see hell in hello. It's disguised by the o, but once you see it, it will slap you in the face." Mr Canales now plans to go to Texas Governor, George Bush, to propose it as the state's official greeting. Reuters
