Is now that we can fully search 60,000 books printed from 1473, and 1700, i now know that shakespeare did not invent 1700 words. What we will learn over time is that number is going to come way down. Lexicographers at the Oxford English dictionary went for the first book they read when they wanted to use the word first, shakespeare borrowed things all the time and it is no bad thing to say he likes to borrow. That made him a great writer. This works here. Look at this. Three words attributed to william shakespeare. Oh my gosh. Let me think. He has a lot of negations. On house on household. I am trying to think. Certainly have encountered them in the past. Michael whitmore. This is a phd qualifier. Stump the professor. The answers are all down spirit. Used as a verb in macbeth is definitely shakespeare but it is also said he created words like bedroom, marketing, lonely used in a particular sense. If shakespeare invented the modern meaning of lonely my heart breaks, i think that is amaz

Conversations like this regularly and the children of today have been shortchanged certainly in their literature, all of the fun whitmore had with all the things he learned, this wonderful great mind, we dont encourage children to have that kind of mind. We dont have literature at their disposal. In Junior High School, Junior High School teachers and High School Teachers are the gateway to the arts and humanity. If you arrived in college and had a great professor there is something that happened before that and we realize that which is why we want every child who has an experience with shakespeare before they are 18 to have a fantastic experience because those doors are going to open and that is where you get great professors like the people here on the stage. That is the place and we really love those teachers. Catherine, please go ahead and ask your question. I want to start a thespian group called Whitmore Mckay thespians is a celebration.
