118: O versus Oh Apr 5, 2015

Have you ever wondered why sometimes you might see the exclamation 'oh', and other times you will read 'o'‽ There is a difference, however nobody much makes the distinction. 'O' is an exclamation of direct address, so it would be used in a sentence such as, "o Word Facts, your posts are ever so insightful and entertaining". 'Oh', however, is an exclamation used to express a range of emotions. The differentiation, still, is a bit archaic.
