Over the last 10 to 20 years, I have noticed that some (typically young) people misinterpret "Good Morning" to mean "It is a good morning" instead of the correct "I wish you a good morning". If for example the weather is poor, or if there is tension on the office, the person then replies with something like "No it isn't" or "What makes you think so?" I attribute these misinterpretations to a lack of parental guidance in the basics of etiquette.
