Being a foreigner, I haven't got a clue where I learnt wonderful words such
as:
outwith
henceforth
wherewith
etc

I guess, but am not sure, shakespearean language classes in high-school (6
months of the stuff - mostly forgotten) - I only know I hear them in court
quite a lot when I am interpreting there.

I think they are wonderfully quirky - just like the Brits themselves :>)
