william

so much of me loves shakespeare. despite having thoroughly studied many plays in my short life (including the dreaded hamlet and his procrastination, which makes us alike),

i love the language he uses

and i wish we still spoke like that today

even though it would be very hard and every sentence infinitely longer. imagine the msn talk!


i try to get a dose of shakespeare in my vocabulary at least once a day, usually by saying wherefore instead of why. it's hard though, because most people don't get it and then i have to go on my spiel about liking shakespearian language and admitting to being a nerd and it gets complicated.

to uncomplicate, i propose a 'talk like shakespeare day' should be established, particularly for those nerdy counterparst among us. there's a 'use a shakespearian insult day' so i concur that my day will be quite popular.


do youse agree?


(and yes, my grammar is supposed to be ironic)
