Is 'hallo' (written with an 'a') still in use in UK?
I came to wonder,
I am an English learner and whenever I do have a choice how to write or pronounce words, I decide for the British way. Most dictionaries tell me, that 'hallo' written with an 'a' is especially used in the UK. Just like it says here: http://www.dict.cc/?s=hallo
However, whenever I wrote 'hallo' in some sort of a text chat, I got strange reactions. Sometimes people were even asking me if I am German. I haven't read it used by someone British either. Some British friends have even claimed, they have never heard of 'hallo' with an 'a' being correct in English, though they aren't the most well educated ones. Therefore I have the suspicion that 'hallo' is dated. Am I correct?
It's funny how it was possible to have an anti-American ramble in such a question, where I even linked the proof that it isn't American. But some people.. Anyway, thanks most of you for your answers. Two were especially good. Sorry John G for not giving you the best answer, it was an interesting fact, but I was taken in by the Winnie the Pooh example.

Hallo is very very old fashioned, yes. No one uses it now. Only time I can think of it being spelled like that is in the Winnie the Pooh books! :P Some people pronounce it like hallo or hullo but that is just their accent or maybe a quirk of theirs. Yeah so you should spell it hello.

Hallo is German. However, even when it's pronounced 'hallo' (usually in fun), in English, it is always 'Hello.'
Someone here said it's an Americanization? Um, we don't say that, either, except when playing with the sounds of a word (drawing it out for comedic affect, deliberately using the German or whatever).

Strictly speaking Hallo and Hello are two different words - Hallo was originally used to query something or someone as in, 'Hallo what's this ?', or 'Hallo who are you ?', but over time the words meaning and spelling became 'Hello' a form of greeting , so yes Hallo is not used anymore.

No and it never has been, this misspelled word is a pure americanisation of the English language.
