The Welsh have a cool accent in my opinion. Better then most english accents... like imogen on bb

That might be the case... or it could be total bollox, we dont know, nor will we. I mean how do we know how shakespeare pronounced his words... besides that shakespeare did not invent the langauge.. and there is alot of dispute as to wether shakespeare actually wrote half of the plays that are acredited to him.
Ser Red Ronnet Connington:
Oh by the way happy birthday Ser Red... 19 already and studying fro f***ing exams.

Actually, a great deal of the words in the English language are acreditted to being first used enmass by Shakespeare. For instance, in his time, you could be alone, but they had no idea what it meant to be lonely until Shakespeare used it. Besides, he has extra credit since he's considered by many to probably be the best writer in English history.

Ive looked for the definition of the word 'enmass' in a third dictionary. I cant find it, therefore can u tell me its meaning, or was it misspelled? I dont know if u understand my point... i dont deny the credit shakespeare has recieved, im saying there have been many rumors since the 1800s, claiming shakespeare actually did not write many of his plays, that they were rather written by Sir Francis Bacon or Christopher Marlowe or the Earl of Oxford. Now if by any chance these rumors are true.. then shakespeare obviously does not deserve the title of best english writer in history... and also Elessar i asked how is it possible to know the way shakespeare pronounced his words; the argument was about accents, not about the slight variation of the meaning of words like 'alone'.
