Random curiosity

Ok this is sort of me been boring or random or whatever u wanna put it. This thought come to me as i was playing games on FB while hearing my housemate (that #$% litter bug boy) and friends yelling, cheering, moaning in their game....

English words as we all know, don't have specific tone in reading it, the tones only varies with our emotion at the moment, most non-English speaker (ie English not ya first language) aka people like me and you, we sometime mimic them, pretend we are so American or British in a way. Which lead to a confession (which be already know), i actually hate it when people esp if the person not even that deep in religious using the phase "Oh my God" in every situation (appropriate or inappropriate), have encounter a few strangers in campus or bus using it in 8/10 sentence she spoke, the person English pronunciation is overall bad except for the "oh my god" and every time that word come out it sound like the blonde cheerleader bitch which we all hate in the typical teen movies (where the ordinary 'ugly duckling' usually the winner that end up with the football team leader in this sort of movie while the bitch yell "nooo..." over whatever bad end she deserve sort of movie)

So whoever who read this and happen to discover u r the person i hate, here a suggestion (which of cos u can choose to ignore cos who am i to tell you what to do). In case u don't realize, there r word like "f***", "s**t", "d**n" as alternative, don't have to bring out God in every sentence, u can add in Oh in front of that 3 word too, or for girl "oh my" is good enough to exclaim ur surprise and shock in some case. It's getting annoying to hear "oh my God" over and over, esp if you not even English speaker, i rather u use "mother", "celaka" or whatever ur mother tougue day to day swear word u love to use.

End of side note, back to main topic, my housemate make me realise "noooo~" yeah~~~" "f**kkkk" "s**ttttt" "ahhhh~"etc all those swear word u mourn or scream out during 'excitement" all got same tone... hmm... why ah? not like in chinese word we got tone in pronunciation which is why in some case, same word, different way to read it give different, meaning in Chinese. Human natural?
