I'm going on a megawalk in a few minutes. Will be gone for almost five hours. Don't wait up for me. Meanwhile, note the effect of a vocative comma on "Westward ho!"
1. "Westward ho!"—the gleefully optimistic whoop of people heading west.
2. "Westward, ho!"—the cruel command of a man to a woman he sees as a whore.

READ THIS BEFORE COMMENTING!
All comments are subject to approval before they are published, so they will not appear immediately. Comments should be civil, relevant, and substantive. Anonymous comments are not allowed and will be unceremoniously deleted. For more on my comments policy, please see this entry on my other blog.
AND A NEW RULE (per this post): comments critical of Trump's lying must include criticism of Biden's or Kamala's or some prominent leftie's lying on a one-for-one basis! Failure to be balanced means your comment will not be published.
