   I didn’t denigrate Shakespeare’s stories. I merely bemoaned the archaic language. The few quotes that are universally recognized are the exception, not the rule. Some of the language is beautiful. Most is just word salad to modern ears. Not because all modern ears belong to dunces, but because language evolves.

   Joking about stupid stuff people do when drunk, as if that’s okay is— not okay. Alcohol is poison, kids.
