Seems like I need to post a picture of me---so as to remedy confusion--lol.
My screen name = "Travelling Man" because that is what I told a coach who expressed displeasure at a 'travelling violation' I called on his player. His player was unexpectedly double-teamed when he recv'd the inbound pass after a carefully designed play subsequent to a timeout coach called. A1 recv'd the inbound pass, then shuffled his feet--it was a close game (1 pt difference) with 15 secongs left. The coach said "what you called that travelling?!". I replied, "travelling man!" Hence my screen name.
It was the right call obfiously.

Since you are so much into words such as sudoriferous and antidisestablishmentarianism, I think the correct punctuation would be "Travelling, Man." You really need a comma. "Travelling man." means 'that male person of society likes to travel, almost as an occupation.' Whereas, "Travelling, Man" means 'hey dude, that was really a travel and I am right and you are wrong.' A comma is exorbitantly needed in this sentence to avoid a plethora of confusion and perhaps a conundrum.

My spell check keeps flagging this and wants to change it to "Traveling Man". Travelling Man must be a British-Kansan.

Ricky Nelson wants to spell it another way:

@Billymacs: Yes, you are correct. I concede that the correct grammar is "Travelling, Man". You are right; I am wrong.

Watch your spelling, although it would be 100% correct in the United Kingdom.

sorry, not related to that poster--but like all of us here [and like all humans] we do share 99.6% identical genetics.
