It's still a characterization point, though, as to whether it's "oh my god" or "oh-em-gee" (which I have heard, but always with that wink-wink bit). What bothers me, really, is that the author didn't use one or the other, but OMG, which leaves me baffled as to which way to read it: and the characterization would be radically different, depending.
Plus, it's just plain annoying in a story. Could the author just not be arsed to actually spell it out, even the sounded-out version?
