even if the claims that shakespeare invented these words are drastically overstated, he still was the first person to use many of these in literature that survives. so even giving wild bill shakes as little influence as possible, he was still making the conscious choice to include words that hadn't made it into common use of written english yet. (in other words, it's probable he was 'canonizing' terms invented by/used by lower classes into the realm of the upper-class.)

i feel like all of the people who view the english language as immutable and get really stick-up-their-ass about it also are likely to hold shakespeare in the greatest of esteem

which is ironic, because shakespeare is very clearly of the opposite opinion wrt mutability of the english language

i mean he gave us newfangled terms like 'eyeball'. and 'newfangled'.

i hope that the ghost of ol' wild billy shakes* greets every single person who says "they is singular" in the afterlife and immediately challenges them to a no-holds-barred beatdown
