Many of them will be around. I'm just a bit more active this morning because of it. It's usually so silent this time of the night.

That's amazing. Chinese is a little similar with its intonations.

Japanese isn't though. Say kokoko and people will think you're trying to be moe.

Maybe. Don't most of them sleep in until 10-12? I'm already at home by that point, hence the "damn it".

Yeah, and I won't surface again until 6 eastern or so. It's night for both of us by then.

Hence the "damn it". By the time all my favourite Yanks are on, I'll already be at home.

Those aren't intonations though, they're all pronounced pretty much the same.
