tasty tidbit
Here is a reason to jump back into my blog. While I should have been scanning my sketches I found out this whopper of an information that I did not know . Sometimes being easily distracted has it’s own rewards apparently.
Did you know that William Shakespeare invented something like 2000 new words for the English language? That is more than anyone else– ever.
Without him you would not be able to say that the critic accused them that the excitement in their courtship had a generous hint of jaded, majestic, obscene exposure that makes me puke .. not that you would really say that but you would be tongue tied because most of those words were invented by Bill. Here is a brief list of words that he invented:
Accused Addiction Amazement Arouse Assassinate
Blushing Champion Circumstantial Compromise Courtship Countless Critic
Dawn Epileptic Elbow Excitement Exposure Frugal Generous Gossip Hint
Invulnerable Jaded Label Lonely Luggage Majestic Negotiate Obscene Premeditated Puke
Scuffle Torture Tranquil Varied and Worthless
I found this info here: http://www.elizabethan-era.org.uk/elizabethan-language.htm can’t say if it is true or not. Any thoughts?
