Do all of Shakespeare's plays contain grammatical mistakes?
As I was reading Hamlet, I realised that there were many mistakes in his English and I started to wonder if this was even English at all. I couldn't understand what the characters were saying because of the bad grammar and awful vocabulary. And apparently Shakespeare creates his own new words? Like how am I supposed to understand anyone's writing if they just start creating uncommon new words from their bottoms?
An example of bad grammar: "Horatio Before my God, I might not this believe"
Like did Shakespeare even study English at all or did he just start writing because he was broke? Compared to a writer like John Green, his English is horrible. Why do we even have to study him when his English is below average? I know for sure that he wouldn't be able to pass any English test, except if it was for kindergarten child.

Not even remotely funny.

>Like did Shakespeare even study English at all or did he just start writing because he was broke? What the fuck are you even on about? Before faking his death, he received an MA from Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, and he even translated some works from Latin into English. It's likely that he was a prolific polyglot, and not a fucking "below average" English speaker

this is funny to me

Finally some quality bait

Could you provide a source to support what you're saying? I doubt he knew Latin. He probably knew Latin as much as he knew English, which is bad.
And why would he fake his death? Is he still alive?

Not really. Especially with a post like

Aw come on dude, your troll was almost believable until you compared him to Green. 6/10, almost good.
