How many O’s are too many? Not enough?


Quickly posting your excitement to a goal is a matter of taste. Some countries like to be short and sweet, saying only the word as it’s written in a dictionary. If you live in Mexico then it’s all about holding down that “O” key until your finger is tired.
The middle ground is where this gets weird. What’s up with the countries who add just one extra “O”? It makes the whole thing seem like they’re saying ghoul. If you’re going to the extra effort then you might as well go all out.
