[quote=Nathan;497433]I'm sorry, but I have to disagree wit this part. I fail to see how saying you are doing "well" makes you appear more intelligent than saying you are doing "good". That comes off as a bit pompous.

lol I agree! If I asked "How are you?" and someone said "I'm well, thank you" I'd probably want to tell them to pull the stick out of their butt.
Who really talks like that these days? lol I work at a huge bank. The multi-million dollar customers don't even talk to us like that, and we don't talk like that to them.
We say "good" or "alright" ... sometimes "fine"
I think "fine" has a little undertone of anger to it. "How are you?" "I'm fine." It's kind of like ... they're just annoyed that you're asking. Maybe it's all in how they say it. But, no one around here says "fine" (I'm from NY)
