The bastardization of ye Queen's proper speech mortifies me to mine very core! Surely, something can be done of these knaves that are desirous of butchering Her Majesty's proper enunciation?! It is the suggestion of this gentleman, that any person or persons who are moste ignorant of ye proper way of speaking, should thusly be cast from this site to the nearest shunnery! There, shall they suffer a moste unfortunate fate at the hands of Hades' grim tyrant!

Why, just a fortnight ago, I witnessed with mine own eyes, a most disturbing situation. A commoner replied to a moste generous giveaway with, "Thanks," rather than the far more proper, "Good sir, how much do I appreciate thy generosity, truly ye are a man of noble stature! A thousand weddings upon thy family, sir!" This must not be tolerated!

What say you, sirs?! Wilt thou defend proper speech? Or shalt thou allow these urchins of low birth to continue flogging our beloved Queen's English?

Somebody got drunk while reading Shakespeare!

Not that I blame you. The English language has been butchered quite a lot over the past half-century.

Getting drunk is the only way to read Shakespeare.

I enjoy Shakespeare. Many people can happily enjoy his work (and others of the like) without being drunk.

Not always. I started with Shakespeare back in school.

Othello and that was when I was like 13, couldn't get drunk then! (well, I could I suppose, but i didn't)
