Writers: Shakespeare -- on the reliability of texts

"Shakespeare: Subject To Change is: Accessible: You are on the receiving end of resources and expertise brought together from different parts of the globe...Multisensory: You watch, read, hear, interact, and create your own variation. Rich content: You can examine digitized versions of rare documents and prints, or clips from multimillion dollar films ... Self-directed: You make the choices -- go in any direction or sequence, at any pace. ... Shakespeare's language eclipses that of the average person today. His enormous vocabulary included over 27,870 different words. The average person today uses between 7500 and 10,000 words. While some of Shakespeare's language may seem archaic now, much of what he wrote is still used in everyday conversation." - from the website. <http://www.ciconline.org/bdp1/>
