"Will-Shake" influences other writers

Shakespeare influenced other writers in many ways. For example, he invented over 1700 words that are used in the English language today by changing nouns into verbs, changing verbs into adjectives, connecting words never before used together, adding prefixes and suffixes, and devising words wholly original. If you start saying; "It's Greek to me", you are quoting Shakespeare; if you claim to be more sinned against than sinning, you are quoting Shakespeare; if you recall your salad days, you are quoting Shakespeare; if you act more in sorrow than in anger, if your wish is father to the thought, if your lost property has vanished into thin air, you are quoting Shakespeare; if you have ever refused to budge an inch or suffered from green-eyed jealousy, if you have played fast and loose, if you have been tongue-tied, a tower of strength, hoodwinked or in a pickle… you are speakin’ Shakespeare! Have you ever heard any other authors use these expressions, bet you have? That is because they have all been influenced by Will.
