I was wondering about the "O!" in the text here. There are several articles on the Web about the distinction between "O" and "Oh", e.g. [1], [2], [3]. They would tend to suggest that what the writer meant was "Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble...". I can see the point of giving a faithful rendition of an original source, but in that case, following the graphic, it must surely be "O sometimes it causes me to tremble!" not "O! Sometimes it causes me to tremble!"

Definitely not "O!" which defies all the grammatical opinion I can find.

Would anyone object if I changed to follow the displayed graphic more accurately as detailed above? Simon Grant (talk) 07:48, 5 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
