Q3 oscar wilde not garbo

[andy-hughes]

And don't forget pedants one and all - Hamlet did not say "Alas poor Yorrick, I knew him well ...,", he said "Alas poor Yorrick, I knew him Horatio ..."

[jno]

indeed, andy-hughes, and 'Wherefore art thou Romeo' doesn't mean 'Where are you, Romeo?' - it means 'Why are you Romeo?' and is a comment on his name.

I find it best to point out things like that at this time of night when there's nobody around to throw bricks at me.
