"Did you know you say a prayer every time you say "goodbye"? The word "Goodbye" is a contraction of the phrase used in the late 16th century: "God be with ye." Over time, it was shortened to "God b'w'y" and finally "Goodbye." You are literally blessing someone every time you say it."
This should be True even if it isn't.

That's cool! It compels me to return to the fuller version and say, "God be with you" when parting company, rather than "goodbye".
Yes, that sounds like a idea.
