Talk Like A Shakespeare Day

Mayor Daley of Chicago has apparently declared this Thursday, April 23rd, to be "Talk Like Shakespeare Day," according to CNN. There's a website, even, for you to go to and establish whether or not a given word was coined by Shakespeare.

Of course, this is good news, particularly since I had previously expressed moral reservations about celebrating Talk Like A Pirate Day this year, and I'm always eagerly looking for new dialect-based holidays. 

But it could have been even better if it was Talk Like A Shakespeare Day, where everyone gets to choose to speak like their favorite Shakespearean author. Francis Bacon! Christopher Marlowe! Klingons! Doctor Who!

Anyone up for making this a thing?
