    Default Oh, great!

    I wonder if there is any difference in the meaning between "1.Oh, great!" and "2.Oh, great!".
    1. Oh, great! It snowed last night!
    2. Oh, great! I gotta walk through this stuff to get my paper!

    wowenglish, I have told you at least twice before that 'I wonder why/if' is a comment, not a question. The natural English here would be "Is there any difference ...?
