From the Talk Like Shakespeare Day site. Lots of fun stuff here including a clip of Gilligan playing Hamlet.

In recognition of Shakespeare's 445th Birthday, this Thursday, April 23, 2009, will be Talk Like Shakespeare Day. Shakespeare is a part of our everyday lives. He coined more than 1,700 words still in use in modern English and his plays influence the way we think about the world we live in. Get in on the act!

What a fun idea!

 

[Calidris]

he speaketh

thou speakest (2nd person) (or is it speakst?)

pretty sure this is wrong too, thou and thee are both the intimate form of you, not the plural form ("nearer my God to thee" still one god though)

Quote:

Instead of you, say thou. Instead of y'all, say thee.

:
yeah I'm being an annoying grammar nerd, sorry

eta: Ye can be the plural of you ("O come all Ye faithful")
