  Quote from kingofrunes;293034:

  Text is not in "Modern English". It uses words that have a completely different meaning from what they are trying to say like in the Erinn walker when they say "with what courteous action it waves you to a more removed ground."

  If you think about it, it's pretty clear. I'd argue that this is easily decipherable even with modern English.

  Actually, I just found something that will quit my complaining.
  
  http://www.yourdictionary.com/languages/shakespeare-translator.html
  
  Hurray! A Shakespeare Translator! This should help me in my deciphering of Hamlet :XD:
  
  Also, ya I guess Shakespeare is Modern English...HOWEVER
  
  

  
  Because of the oddities and complexities inherent in the language of Shakespeare, sometimes his works seem foreign and incomprehensible. However, many people will be surprised to know that William Shakespeare’s English—the bane of school kids, college students, and playgoers alike—is technically modern English!
  
  That’s right, the same language spoken by William Shakespeare is still in use today, and the language is distinct from Middle English (the language of Chaucer) and Early English (like Beowulf).
  
  This does not mean, however, that Shakespeare’s English (also known as Elizabethan English) uses the exact same words and phrases that we use. In fact, some of his phrases are downright different from anything you’ve ever heard.
  

  
  
  It's the way the words are phrased that throws me through a loop but hopefully if I study that page I'll understand. I considered purchasing a guide to Shakespeare at the Library and am still tempted on buying it.
  
  God dammit, all this is doing is increasing my interest in Shakespeare which was most likely their intent the whole time.
  
  
  
  Now to give this a shot...
  
  Ye Vile Knave! I abhor thine delation. I shrift that I hath been most unpregnant as of young. I tax mine own self for my rapture. I shalt retire inward and undergo a transformation!
  
  Did I do it right?

  I'm inclined to think (epsecially with that quote) that people mainly just build up a bad image of Shakespeare and dismiss it without really looking at it. I used to hate reading it in high school but looking at it now I'm perplexed as to where the supposed immense difficulty in comprehending it is. If you like to skim read it may pose problems but if you just go over it and give it a bit of thought you'll start to catch on pretty quick.

  It does take work to understand it. I can't understand it at first glance. It requires you to stop and really think about it. Which in a game, is something that a lot of people aren't willing to do.
