Someone on the thread below wrote "OP, wherefore art thou?" clearly misconstruing wherefore to mean where. I posted on there an hour ago to pedantically point out the correct meaning, fully expecting to be hit with an AIBU blast to get back to pedants' corner.
Amazingly, I got agreement and a pleasant "you learn something new". So, on a light-hearted thread maybe it is worth sometimes picking up on such errors rather than just coming on PC to rage. (Although I appreciate some of you like to come here and rage as well!)
