No, for any reasonable person (even in the United States), "Wow" could also be used to express disbelief at some unusual or extreme occurrence. This is an emotion that is separate from our rational ability to make predictions. It's not surprising or shocking when an aurora appears after a large solar flare: but if I see one I'll still say "Wow". Just because I understand the cause doesn't mean I can't be amazed to witness it. |
Kowenicki writes the same thing every week in Media create threads:
"Wow at Vita. Terrible/horrendous/destroyed by 3ds" or anything along those lines. We've discussed it before and he suggested that he likes pointing out the obvious. At least once every week.
