[1913 Webster]

[1913 Webster]
Note: O is frequently followed by an ellipsis and that, an in
expressing a wish: "O [I wish] that Ishmael might live
before thee!" --Gen. xvii. 18; or in expressions of
surprise, indignation, or regret: "O [it is sad] that
such eyes should e'er meet other object!" --Sheridan
Knowles.
[1913 Webster]
Note: A distinction between the use of O and oh is insisted
upon by some, namely, that O should be used only in
direct address to a person or personified object, and
should never be followed by the exclamation point,
while Oh (or oh) should be used in exclamations where
no direct appeal or address to an object is made, and
may be followed by the exclamation point or not,
according to the nature or construction of the
sentence. Some insist that oh should be used only as an
interjection expressing strong feeling. The form O,
however, is, it seems, the one most commonly employed
for both uses by modern writers and correctors for the
press. "O, I am slain!" --Shak. "O what a fair and
ministering angel!" "O sweet angel !" --Longfellow.

[1913 Webster]
From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48: O O ([=o]).
1. O, the fifteenth letter of the English alphabet, derives
its form, value, and name from the Greek O, through the
Latin. The letter came into the Greek from the
Ph[oe]nician, which possibly derived it ultimately from
the Egyptian. Etymologically, the letter o is most closely
related to a, e, and u; as in E. bone, AS. b[=a]n; E.
stone, AS. st[=a]n; E. broke, AS. brecan to break; E.
bore, AS. beran to bear; E. dove, AS. d[=u]fe; E. toft,
tuft; tone, tune; number, F. nombre.
[1913 Webster] The letter o has several vowel sounds, the
principal of which are its long sound, as in bone, its
short sound, as in nod, and the sounds heard in the words
orb, son, do (feod), and wolf (book). In connection with
the other vowels it forms several digraphs and diphthongs.
See Guide to Pronunciation, [sect][sect] 107-129.
[1913 Webster]
2. Among the ancients, O was a mark of triple time, from the
notion that the ternary, or number 3, is the most perfect
of numbers, and properly expressed by a circle, the most
perfect figure.
[1913 Webster] O was also anciently used to represent 11:
with a dash over it ([=O]), 11,000.
[1913 Webster]
From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48: O O ([=o]), n.; pl. O's or Oes ([=o]z).
1. The letter O, or its sound. "Mouthing out his hollow oes
and aes." --Tennyson.

2. Something shaped like the letter O; a circle or oval.
"This wooden O [Globe Theater]". --Shak.
[1913 Webster]
3. A cipher; zero. [R.]

Thou art an O without a figure. --Shak.
[1913 Webster]

n 1: the blood group whose red cells carry neither the A nor B
antigens; "people with type O blood are universal
donors" [syn: type O, group O]
2: a nonmetallic bivalent element that is normally a colorless
odorless tasteless nonflammable diatomic gas; constitutes
21 percent of the atmosphere by volume; the most abundant

How to make Toyota Corolla Use E-85 or is it safe to use plain E-85 without changing anything?
Pretty much strait forward question. I am trying to use e-85 on 1999 Corolla and want to know if any conversion needs to be done to ECU? Is it safe to use full tank of E-85 on that car without doing anything to engine or computer?
Thanks a lot.
As far as I know, there are currently no EPA certified kits or components for converting a gasoline-burning car to an E85 blend. That means that even if you were able to convert it, the conversion would likely be in violation of numerous federal and state laws. There may be an exemption for individual conversions, but I'd imagine the testing fees would be exorbitant.
At any rate, you'd really have to really poke around to find someone knowledgeable enough to even accomplish the conversion.
