Where do all the "Os" go?

They go to places you will never imagine!

They are getting used up in all those plaintive “noooooooooooo“s that people type.

Sooooo that’s where they gooooo!

They go to the “O-Zone.” That’s also where your lost socks that never came out of the dryer go (or is that the “Hose Zone?”

@jca Brilliant!

They run off to Turkish language. Or Spanish, take your pick.

People have just become lazy I guess. Using abbreviations at all places. Nice question though. Can you share link for the article if it’s online? Someone better find out who let the O’s out..)

@imrainmaker: I think it’s less about “lazy” and more about being a holdover from when texting and posting stuff had a limited character count.

They are all in Italy awaiting use in arias. “O sole mio!”

They are shipped to the General Mills plant in Buffalo NY where they are rinsed, baked, stuffed in a yellow box, and sold as Cheerios.

@LuckyGuy “It is a far, far better thing we do…”

They’ve gone to fill in all the print copies of Edgar Allen Poe’s humorous short story ‘X-ing a Paragrab.’

has anybody read the great Thurber book called “The Wonderful O” about a pirate who steals all the Os? It’s full of puns and other humor.

They’ve come here for a belly dance perhaps?

@janbb, I read it in junior high school English class. I remember poor mortified Ophelia Oliver.

@Jeruba And – ”“Ah woe,” she cried, “is we.””

They reside in the realm of petticoats, sonnets and handwritten love letters.
