Aren't a fan of the word worthless? You have Shakespeare to thank for that one. He created at least 1700 new words in the English language. Hurry, assassination and critic were a few of the others.
I had no knowledge of that. I have a good friend who would spend hours (If I had the time, but I don't) telling me that Francis Bacon is the writer of the works published under the name of Shakespeare.
ha. i love words and all their variety so i can appreciate...as long as you dont try to use them all in one conversation...ha
ReplyDeleteI wasn't aware of the fact that Shakespeare created "assassination". Thanks for the info. Good post.

ReplyDeleteFirst I knew, my created words don't take.
ReplyDeleteHow funny that so many of his words stuck!
ReplyDeleteBoy times have change. Now we have the likes of Beyonce creating words like Bootylicious. We are definitely on a downward slope.
ReplyDeleteOf course I dont have idea !!

ReplyDeleteMakes you wonder how one man could create that many words. I wonder if he ever let his mind relax and just enjoy life.
