I was trolling on Facebook the other day, and ran across this meme posted by our friend, Chip MacGregor.

I hope the words are clear enough for you to read.

Shakespeare didn’t just entertain us with poems, stories, hilarity, and villains–he added to our everyday language we’re familiar with today. On one website I found, it states the Bard supplied us with over 1700 words still in use today.

One I discovered is “addiction” from Henry V. The meaning as it was used then was “inclination” or “tendency”. Sound familiar?

I was wondering…can you add to this list? Let’s put our wordy heads together and come up with a few more, shall we?

The Bard . . . 4/23/1564-4/23/1616
