Shakes made it work.
He invented words where they needed to be that served linguistic purpose, that's why theyre still used today. Like "assassin".
Joyce on the other hand just wanked for prose points

>>8760638
Shakespeare didn't invent assassin.

English teachers tend to really overhype what he did word wise

He invented the word "assassination" in Macbeth, it is the word "assassin" that had existed before. (Also, he didn't really invent that one either. It was used once before him, but in some obscure pamphlet.)

>>8760683
He used 1,700 made-up words. Clearly, he had no idea what he was doing.

I have 4200 new words learned on Memrise.
Am I 25% Shakespeare?

>>8760611

I think 'spears didn't exist, and all the claims like making up new words is a lie.

Prove me wrong.

He didn't invent all of those words, it's just that his writing contains the earliest known written use of the word.

This family, they were colloquialisms that had yet to receive textbook definition or written use.
