Incorrect use of the word oblige and term M.O.

You were a dick with the "No comments" remarks, and this didn't need to be x-posted here.

I'm pretty sure that "I obliged him" meaning

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=oblige

"To do a service or favor: The soloist obliged with yet another encore. "

is correct.

I'm not quite as sure about MO though.

It's "I obliged."
and you don't really describe M.O.s (main objective)

M.O. - Modus Operandi, mode or method of operation (i.e., one's characteristic behavior).

Interested re: I obliged.

The M.O. I was referring to was 'modus operandi'.

You're definitely right that you can't oblige someone though (you can oblige or not, and someone else can oblige, but you can't oblige them).
