greetings- off topic, but current



everywhere i turn or read, earnest Rabbis are trying to educate their
apparently witless kahal on the proper way to greet one another during the
yamim noraim.
is it just my luck, or is this out there?  anybody have any ideas about the
proper  (ie., the way amcha really speaks) use of the following:
1.gamar tov (is it ever spoken before the end of yom kippur?  when does
g'mar tov expire- Simchat torah, or hoshannah raba.
2. a guten kvitl.
3. Has anyone ever heard an unpaid Jew say "moadim l'simcha,
chagim l'sasson" or similar words to a neighbor or friend? before i commit
the sin of harsh judgment, i would like to hear from others.
a friend in israel says that this year the common greeting is shana shkedya-
a quiet year.
 a sweet new year to all.
