@Kulambq Guess you have not heard about st. Thomas Aquinas. :)
Plus 👇🏻 "William Shakespeare is credited with contributing a substantial number of new words and phrases to the English language, many of which are commonly used today. He had a knack for transforming nouns into verbs, verbs into adjectives, connecting words never before used together, adding prefixes and suffixes, and devising entirely original words. Here are some of the words and phrases that Shakespeare is credited with inventing or popularizing: Words: Assassination - Shakespeare is believed to have first used this in "Macbeth." Bedazzled - First recorded in "The Taming of the Shrew." Belongings - Seen in "Measure for Measure." Cold-blooded - From "King John." Eyeball - Used in "The Tempest." Fashionable - Found in "Troilus and Cressida." Half-blooded - Appears in "King Henry IV, Part 2." Lackluster - Used in "As You Like It." New-fangled - From "Love's Labour's Lost." Swagger - Found in several plays including "Henry V." Phrases: All that glitters is not gold - From "The Merchant of Venice." Brave new world - Used in "The Tempest." Break the ice - Found in "The Taming of the Shrew." Brevity is the soul of wit - From "Hamlet." Dead as a doornail - Used in "Henry VI, Part 2." Faint hearted - Appears in "Henry VI, Part 1." Forever and a day - From "As You Like It." Good riddance - Seen in "Troilus and Cressida." Heart of gold - Found in "Henry V." Love is blind - From "The Merchant of Venice." These contributions reflect not only Shakespeare's linguistic creativity but also his deep understanding of human nature and the ways in which language can capture and convey complex ideas and emotions. His inventive use of language has had a lasting impact, continuing to enrich English to this day." ~ChatGPT

@Kulambq In the Year of Lear has it in 1606. Also, wasn't Timon 1605?
@Kulambq I think it's pretty well understood that Shakespeare was not one person
@Kulambq There are no dates on any of Shakespeare’s plays. These details are guesses at best.
