how do you pronounce "learned"? post a vocaroo. I will judge if you're worthy.

Stressing the last syllable of words ending in 'ed' is an unfortunate side effect of bardalotry.

Judging by the OP pic I think he meant, "I own Shakespeare's Complete Works. Once I read the first scene of Hamlet. Then I got bored and put the book back on my shelf, where it has remained untouched."

A true Shakespearean would use "learned" and "learn'd", not "learnèd" and "learned".

I consider this a personal attack. Though in all honesty they're plays and are meant to be experienced as such; I use my complete RSC Shakespeare for occasional reference but would rather watch a cam-rip of a real performance than read them to myself, especially the verse works.
