Wit, n. The salt with which etc. etc.
I can't allow the implication that you are without wit, Whit. And quite apart from the fact that your writings are full of it.
Just look at it this way:
If it be allowed that you have none, then you become "hmanO'Neill"
Your words are never ill-written, which makes you "hmanO'Ne"
On this board you, in common with us all, are never alone but are a part of the whole, which makes you "hman"
This process of reduction is enough to unman the best of us (amongst whom you surely rank); so you become "h"
If this is taken to such an extreme, you will have to avoid any trip to London, where we habitually drop our 'aithches'![]()
