William Shakespeare

Shakespeare, you know, had a good bit to do with standardization of English, as did the King James Version of the Bible - from the same era. So, I thought I would give access to some interesting information in this the 400th year of the KJV and note its importance alongside William. (There are theories that Bill helped with the phraseology and hidden messages asserted to be placed by Bill in the KJV text!)
