Not if it's Delhi's, thank you very much.

And guys gimme a break, I can't always come up with things to write! So here's something that made me purse my lips in the office and laugh inside my mouth till me face went read.

10 ways to talk like Shakespeare:

1. Instead of you, say thou. Instead of y’all, say thee.

2. Rhymed couplets are all the rage.

3. Men are Sirrah, ladies are Mistress, and your friends are all called Cousin.

4. Instead of cursing, try calling your tormenters jackanapes or canker-blossoms or poisonous bunch-back’d toads.

5. Don’t waste time saying "it," just use the letter "t" (’tis, t’will, I’ll do’t).

6. Verse for lovers, prose for ruffians, songs for clowns.

7. When in doubt, add the letters "eth" to the end of verbs (he runneth, he trippeth, he falleth).

8. To add weight to your opinions, try starting them with methinks, mayhaps, in sooth or wherefore.

9. When wooing ladies: try comparing her to a summer’s day. If that fails, say "Get thee to a nunnery!"

10. When wooing lads: try dressing up like a man. If that fails, throw him in the Tower, banish his friends and claim the throne.

If you liked this, or even managed to reach here, you might be interested in visiting Talk Like Shakespeare. If you feel angry about the elections and the candidates you would definitely wanna learn a few of these Surprise!

Happy reading!
