The word “elsewhere” conveniently exist to spare us the chore of saying “somewhere else”. Why then do we waste or time saying “someone else” or “some other time”?

    Cool, thank you! I find it’s a shame these words went out of use, like found out about the words “whence”, “whither”, “thence” and “thither”, I feel using them would rid many sentences of superfluous words. But I’m sure if I did, I’d sound pretentious at best or be misunderstood at worst.
