Comments by "Ginny Jolly" (@ginnyjollykidd) on "Did Shakespeare invent as many words as people claim?" video.
If Shakespeare coined all the words attributed to him, how would anyone have understood his plays to begin with? It would be gibberish to his audience! Shakespeare played with words. I've been told that 2,000-3,000 words is a large vocabulary. But then you've mentioned that he first put words onto paper. So we've already had much of these words in our vocabulary.
