About this episode

Of all the billions of people who have spoken English, one person has probably impacted the language more than any other. 

The person who is considered the greatest playwright in the language is also responsible for adding more words and phrases than anyone else.

His impact on the language is due not only to his skill and output as a writer but also to the fact that he wrote his works when modern English was being created.

Learn more about the word and phrases which came to us from William Shakespeare on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
