          Seems a good time to send good wishes to Calum da Jazzbo, hoping all is well.

          Also, nothing heard from doversoul since the 11th on this forum: best wishes, however and wherever you may be, dovers!

            Indeed. Good wishes to both, and particularly a much improved year for Calum in 2017. But, yes, dover, wherefore art thou? Wherever, have a good Christmas.
            It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

                  ... o, it's usage, jean - usage.

                  So many people over the years have thought that 'wherefore' means 'where' that that is what it has come to mean.

                  Shakespeare, you, and I may know it means 'why' - but how can we prevail over the majority?

                        We must respect the will of the People ... WHEREFORE means WHERE!

                          ... except when used by Shakspere in R&J - the meaning there depends upon it meaning 'why'.
