    Or knows what "wherefore" means. :(

    Or that it's one word.

    It really was quite unfortunate that Juliet didn't know where Romeo was at the time. Given that the OED usually requires a word to be in common use for five years before being added and that Verona got its fifteen minutes of fame 500 years ago, it's plausible that "wherefore" has been usurped :(

    He took it off line because he thought it was adding to the slow down of boards and some dos hacking or *summit....


    *summit covers the fact I haven't a clue about the last part of my sentence.

    Would love to have it back.

    Must admit to getting a mini stiffy when I see some gimp I detest getting a good rattle of the banstick.

    "Good enough for you you gimp" I say to my screen.

    "Serves you right you whanker"

    Do any other posters do that I wonder?

    More to the point, it's unfortunate that even though Shakespeare uses it over a hundred times, including at least four other times in that play, that is the one bit people know (and misinterpret).

    I know that you are joking, but if people can't understand "wherefore art thou Romeo?" means "why is it that you are Romeo?" it might be worth pointing out that wherefore was around a long time before Shakespeare (late 12th or early 13th Century).

    I propose a Feedback ban for Talliesin for:
    a) encouraging this debate
    b) encouraging the use of 'wherefore'
    c) spotting the error - "where for"
    c) discussing Shakespeare outside of the English forum ... aka Spell Czechs
    d) discussing Shakespeare
    e) being right*


    *this is of course the most fatal error - being right is neither desired nor acceptable in this forum

    Could argue that the implication is "why is it gone". Stretching a bit though. Not much more than that Capulet slut coquette one did though.
