Wonder whether he could spell scholars ? :-)

You are presuming that he used modern spelling? He was ahead of his time, but not that far ahead. !-)

One thing is certain - he used language that spoke to his audience. Otherwise he would not have had an audience.

He was a dab hand at the bow and arrow, and not averse to using them on the local deer. That much is well documented. It is the reason he had to go to London, or, at least, places other than Stratford/Shottery or Charlcote where the Lord of the Manor was the magistrate and owner of said deer.
