Not all English speakers on the "other side of the pond" speak or spell in American . Just an observation. But I have never seen or heard WooHoo, thankfully.

I doubt that one in a million ever uses "WooHoo" in such a context.
I suspect that some software programmer was attempting to be clever.

Not ordinarily, Dave. At least I don't. Only one Yank's opinion, of course.

Yes, I know it has been discussed 70 million times before but I just found another transatlantic difference that I find weird. Using a priority inbox in Google Mail gives me "Congratulations! You've read all the important messages in your inbox" when I have done said clearance. At work. At home it says "Woohoo! You've read all the important messages in your inbox." Guess what the difference is? Yes - You have got it. Work settings are UK display language. Home is US display language.

Do you people west of the pond really use "WooHoo" instead of "Congratulations"?

Incidentally - I have left it. I quite like Woohoo! :-)
