The words "where," "or," and "were" are distinct English words with different meanings and uses:

• "Where" is an adverb or conjunction used to ask about or refer to a place or location. Example: "Where are you?"
• "Or" is a conjunction used to present alternatives or choices. Example: "Do you want tea or coffee?"
• "Were" is a past tense form of the verb "to be," used with plural subjects or in subjunctive mood. Example: "They were at the park."

If the user was also implicitly referencing the slash (/) symbol sometimes used to indicate alternatives such as "and/or," it is recommended to avoid slash usage when "and" or "or" can be clearly used in writing. The slash separates alternatives or related terms but is not a substitute for full conjunctions in formal writing.
