O dear; or should it be o dear? ..shaw you are as pretentious and nit picking as the rest of your phony cronies, or should it be crony's?

as for you talking your own bollocks, none of you have an original thought in your collective heads.All I see here is a re hash of stuff you have read,or another form of plagiarism?

Before you start arguing plagiarism and semantics or grammar with me; get your FACTS right.

I never claimed the statement in my last post as my own..you was only asked to CONSIDER..get it ?

Here is something else for you semi educated oafs to consider;some is my words some isn't, might be a bit beyond you, but you decide.

What is the difference between “O” and “Oh”? An example in hymms from the magical mans followers could be i.e. “BLESS THE LORD OH MY
SOUL” vs. “O God Beyond All Praising”?

You see phony, there is no practical difference at all. The “O” (or spelled “Oh” in English) is the voc in the hymsative article in Attic Greek and in Latin, and the name that followed it was in the appropriate case (vocative, meaning direct address).

The American slang “Yo” to get someone’s attention is exactly the same thing. (I find it interesting that 4000+ years later, the same phoneme means the same thing; rather like Kodaly’s observations on so-mi-la-so-mi!)

In Greek, it was an omega with a rough breathing; scholars disagree on
whether the rough breathing had an [h] sound or not, hence the KJV “Ho,
everyone that thirsteth” in Isaiah. A Hebrew/Greek scholar would have to tell you whether or not the “Ho” of the KJV reflects the Septuagint Greek only, or whether the actual Hebrew vocative article is “ho” or “oh” or something different.

Shaw, I never did Hebrew, only Greek and Latin at the seminar I attended.What little I did learn was that the Greek O” is the article used by St. Paul-- “O Corinthians” and has a formal connotation as well as, in his context, some urgency about it.

In modern English we use “Oh” in the formal vocative sense (“Oh, seaman stayns, could you...”) this is as well as in an much more informal way to preface a sudden thought or to express surprise.

You see shaw, before you start shooting your big flapper about and argueing something with someone, at least do your homework?

See phony...I still am to much for you
