What a cheater! Who does this dude think he is, just making up gibberish because he can't find the right words for what he wants to say? No wonder people think his plays are so hard to understand!
But when you take a closer look into the words that he jumbled together, you realize that he is actually believed to have invented over 1,700 of the words that we use today. Somehow, he had such a vast effect over the entire English language that helped to create a sizable chunk of it. And not just words, but common phrases, too.

Kinda impressive. And shows that this heightened language that so many claim is difficult to impossible to understand is actually much more familiar than we think.
