HiThis is a question for native English speakers (sorry for my English, I'm from Italy) and requires a one-word-only-answer, or a longer one if you like. I'll appreciate any contribution.
Please read the following simple word:
Oh
How do you feel about it? Do you feel someway positive and curious or, on the contrary, negative and worried? In other words, what do you expect the entire phrase in which "Oh" occurs will be like? Something positive such as "Oh, what a lovely day" or "Oh, that's great news" or something negative such as "Oh, what a shame..." or "Oh, it'raining again".
Please consider "Oh" in isolation, without any undertone given by the context.
I hope I've been clear.
As I told you, you can answer with "good" or "bad" only, if you want.
Thanks a lot!
If you want to know more, here's the whole story:
I'm working to find a new name for my little handicraft studio.
I'd like to include "Oh" in the name, but of course it must be a positive Oh. I prefer not to use "Oh!" (with the exclamation mark) because it cannot be used in the website name.
In Italian most people perceive "Oh" (the word is the same) with a positive connotation. Since I plan to sell my products also outside of Italy, before I register the name I need to be sure that "Oh" is mostly perceived as positive by native English speakers as well.
Thanks a lot again,
Andrea
