Whether you read Hamlet in high school, or watched Leonardo DiCaprio star in Romeo and Juliet, everyone has been exposed to William Shakespeare (or at least I hope). Perhaps you love him, or you can't stand him. Maybe you would be lost without the margin side notes, maybe you wouldn't. Regardless of whether or not your feelings towards Shakespeare, you are probably using terms that he coined nearly everyday, and don't even have a clue. Phrases like eaten out of house and home, spotless reputation, full circle, are neither rhyme nor reason are all phrases derived straight from the Bard himself.
