Because it is my father amu"sh, while OneG is an acceleration of
about 32.2 ft/s^2?

But seriously, folks...

Gotta agree with Zev here.  Just checked Baer's siddur, b/c quite medakdek
in texts, and it has "Baruch... asher natan yamim tovim leamo yisrael et
yom hazikaron hazeh:"  That's it.  No simcha, unlike other YTs.  The Siddur
of the baal hatanya adds a closing of BAY mekadesh yisrael veyom hazikaron.
