＊　The phrase is a polite way to exclaim in public when something bad happens.

場合：Older gentleman falls over while passing an older woman.

A: When you say “Thank goodness she made it ON time”, you’re saying that you are relieved that she arrived AT the specific time arranged while “Thank goodness she made it IN time” means you’re relieved that she arrived BEFORE the specific time arranged.

The difference isn’t quite noticeable but it exists. Most of the time, both can be used in the same context but there can be a few exceptions.

A:

"Thank you for the goodness" is not grammatically correct. You would say "Thank you for your kindness" instead.

A: Yes they're very similar when talking about the same things but you could also use goodness as an exclamation of surprise

He donated his old clothes as an act of kindness.

A: My goodness is less controversial. Some people get offended by the usage of God's name in vain, so there is no difference in grammar. It is more a difference in preference. You can also determine the usage of it depending on who you are with if they would get offended, don't say God.

A: They all mean the same thing, but 'Oh my gosh' and 'Oh my goodness' are more formal than 'Oh my god'.

A: Being great doesn't make you good. But one must be/do good to be great.

Or...
Being good does not depend on being great. But being great depends on being good.

The distinction is that greatness doesn't necessarily mean morally good. Alexander the Great was perhaps a great warrior who conquered many lands and had a great (large) empire, but that doesn't mean he was a good (moral, Godly, etc) man.

But to become *truly* great in the fullest sense sense of the word, one must first be good (morally / ethically speaking).

A: Goodness

A: My goodness.

A: @peaep3 use goodness and wickedness.......don't use badness

A: You could say that, or "Oh my goodness! I'm so surprised!" :)

Glasses are eye glasses or spectacles 👓 😊
