Maybe becase all the phrases tend to be something like "Thanks be to God" so in English it gets the esl abbrievation Thanks God. I find it endearing and like using it myself :blush:

ETA: I've noticed it among another nationalities too.

What is up with that? I've never heard/seen it before Alex told me she though that was strange.

Any explanations?

You can answer this question yourself... You are Brazilian
