I like it that we owe so much of our language richness to Shapespeare.

to be or not to be that is the question... Can't handle reading Shakespeare these days, but I took Shakespeare in the 11th grade for 1/2 a yr. and I loved it.

Some of those I'm not familiar with, but interesting to learn all of those are from Shakesphere. You learn new things everyday. Thanks for posting.

Ugh I LOVE the Bard! Although I must say in looking at the picture, the expression is not "baited" breath, hahaa! It is BATED breath. An abbreviation of ABATED, or temporarily suspended. xoxo
