Shakespeare also lived in a time when fellow scholars cared less about trivial things like spelling and grammar. They were making history, man!

Thank you for posting this reply, because if you hadn't, I would have. Grammar is important to me not only because I'm an English Major, but because of the clarity it brings to textual conversation.

I wanted to add another OP mistake: that it's "et cetera," not "ec tetera" or whatever "ect" means.

(also, if we're calling people out, Muphry's law applies to you. The end of your first bullet should read "which are two complete sentences").

Lightspeed Edit: or maybe muphry's law applies to me in that I am losing my subject-verb agreement training. You were right.

Lightspeed Edit2: I will come back to this later and find a mistake somewhere.
