Aug 9, 2011 · There is no difference between the pronunciation of oh and o; in both the cases, the pronunciation is /oʊ/. Oh is used to express surprise, anger, disappointment, or joy; it is also used when reacting to something just said. Oh, shut up. O is also an archaic spelling of oh; it was also used before a name in direct address. Give peace in our ...

Nov 30, 2010 · (What is true is that O' is almost exclusively Irish; despite the romantic notions we have of Scottish clans, they didn't use their clan affiliation in their names.) Edit: as for why the prefix is used even though the prefix-less names look perfectly fine on their own, this is basically Gaelic grammar and thus out of scope for this site.

The difference comes certainly from the country of origin of the writer — basically Americans write o and English people write ou. Please confirm that. Please confirm that. (By the way, all the words left side are underlined in Firefox, since the spell-checker is set to “American English”)

Jul 19, 2023 · When listing by index letter, the convention is not to use upper- or lowercase letter O, (which, in some fonts, may be mistaken for zero) or uppercase I or lowercase letter l (which, in some fonts, may be mistaken for number 1.)

Sometimes the letter o is redundant (country, southern, touch, young) or is accompanied by further irregularities (enough, hiccough, rough, slough, tough, one, once). There may be some words not on this list, but I would guess that the total number of words where O = /ʌ/, excluding inflected and derived forms like sponging and brotherhood ...

This o-sound is the origin of the spelling oo . Middle English /uː/ (usually spelled "ou" or "ow") mostly turned into the Early Modern English diphthong /aʊ/ via the Great Vowel Shift. However, before a labial consonant such as /p/ /f/ /v/ /m/, this change was inhibited, and Middle English /uː/ became Early Modern English /uː/, merging with ...

May 17, 2011 · O.K. was probably the first spelling (and there are dozens of theories about its origin). OK is an obvious shortening, maybe by somebody who had only heard the phrase. But ok would be something different, perhaps a small okapi. That's what your spellchecker thought wasn't okay. Edit: O.K. is pronounced 'okay', and so is OK.

May 30, 2013 · Both "w/" and "w/o" were common U.S. abbreviations in correspondence, and in tight spots on data tables, until recently. "C/o" has always been used in addressing letters to third parties: "John Jones, c/o Smith family..." The other "slash/shilling mark" abbreviations were so uncommon that they usually were not used because of lack of clarity.

Aug 20, 2012 · It comes from the American police show Hawaii Five-O; "five-o" has since become a slang term for police.In the show, "Five-O" is just a police unit, but the name itself doesn't really mean anything other than a designation (I believe the writers named it "Five-O" in homage to Hawaii, the 50th US state and the location of the show).
