2. Doesn't "wherefore" mean why? Or am I just making that up?

3. You are not making that up.

I learned that in my Shakespeare class in college.

4. Word up.

One of the few things I remember learning in high school English.

5. Really? I say that to my mother in law.

No wonder she hates me!

6. wherefore, not where for

When Juliet says “Wherefore art thou Romeo?“ it doesn't mean she's looking for him. She asking "why does Romeo have to be Romeo, specifically a Montague. She uses it to launch into her 'That which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet' speech.

wherefore
adv.
1. For what purpose or reason; why.
2. Therefore.

Just a little pet peeve. And yes, I'm a lot of fun at parties. :)

7. Perhaps that is what mad was asking. Perhaps I am the dumb

one who didn't pay attention to Shakespeare. :P

8. I guess it works in that context
