Writing well: Cheers, and thank you, Wild Bill.

When we in the West do write well, and do it in English, we thank two Brits who took chances and liberties with an old, tough and flexible West Germanic language, for centuries in the shadow of French, spoken by the common Angelfolc (the English): Geoffrey Chaucer and, 150 years later, William Shakespeare, born April 23, 1564.

The overdone posthumous portrait: Duded up,
greased back, and ready to kick some Philistine ass.
