Abstract
We correct certain errors and ambiguities in the recent pedagogical article by Hopkins and de Bruyn. The early-time asymptotics of the solution to the transient version of Stokes' second problem for an Oldroyd-B fluid in a half-space is presented, as an Appendix, to complement the late-time asymptotics given by Hopkins and de Bruyn.
