    Nail on head, sir. Very good

    Here's the link I used: http://www.shmoop.com/shakespeare-translator/

    There's this one also: http://lingojam.com/EnglishtoShakespearean

    I must admit that the rendering isn't really good, but amusing.

    Cheers,

    This notion that you get Shakespearean pastiche merely by adding 'eth' or 'est' to every second word.

    Or that Shakespeare was anything other than ruthlessly careful regarding the range of literal and figurative meanings in every word.

    "What's is" - ? - what the hell could that mean in anyone's language?

    "Yond is the questioneth" - ? - oh Jesus Christ; have you ever read a word of actual Shakespeare?

    You owe Hamlet and his creator an apology sir. This was criminally wide of the mark.

    "Unfortunately" must qualify as one of the greatest understatements ever.

    How does it feel to have composed your own epitaph, Pierre?

    I tip my hat to you, Pierre. Well done.

    Thank you Mike,

    I prefer delusion.

    Yes, for someone to lie to such an extent seems far more problematic, as you say.

    And you say this since I am not lying.

    So the only solution left is that I am suffering from a delusion.

    Maybe I do.

    We will see.

    I have now been spending considerable time on this case. I am right now trying to show myself that the Whitechapel killer was not responsible for the Rainham case. I thought that would be easy to prove. But it seems difficult. I donīt like that.

    Kind regards, Pierre

    I think 'trolling' is a reasonable label for that line of activity.

    "I know who the Ripper was but I can't tell you, sorry!" = trolling. End of story.
    But typical of a certain poster.

    Hi Marie Antoinette,

    it is no "trolling thread". It is a thread were I discuss the interpretation of a source and the problems with it.
