Thou art no man. Thou art a lilly-livered boy. A foul-breathed oaf with the heart of a worm and the brain of a toad. A slimy soul-sucking leech and thy mother hides her face when thou art mentioned.

Gosh I love Shakespeare!

In reply to Leon. Tis true Leon, as a homeschooler I must say I know more Shakespear than my public schooled friends. No offense against them, however, as the school system hasn't been very helpful to them on this subject. But my close friends get a dose of Shakespearean insults every now and then.

Nevertheless, dear Jamie, t’is largely true what Phillip says. ‘Tho you may well and accurately point to several other reasons for today’s shallow-minded and thin veneer of appreciation for Shakesperian witt, it is certainly the greatest doing of our “education system”. Not knowing you, i hesitate to call you an errant, dizzy-eyed harpy nor even a rank, tickle-brained minnow. Yet, does give me pause.. even some taste of biled reflux, to imagine for a fleeting moment that our long-standing standards and practices within US schools – at all levels – do not hold the largest of blame, by far.

In reply to Phillip Allen.

If the best reasoning for today’s lack of appreciation for the snark, wit, and wisdom of Shakespeare is to throw blame wholly at the education system of our society… then you, sir, are also a sodden-witted lord with no more brain than I have in mine elbow…

Agreed, and aggrieved. Such a shame that contemporaries fail to grasp the wit and scope of old Bill’s wise humour. I’d guess the misnomered “education” system is to blame.
