Talk Like Shakespeare Day

Can you translate this?  That is my question.

So how doth one talketh like Shakespeare?  For starters...
  • Instead of "you," say "thou."
  • Instead of "ya'll," say "ye." 
  • Instead of "Hey you," say "hark thee."
  • And rhyme something, if you can.
  • Don't waste time saying "it," just use the letter "t" ('tis, t'will, t'would, I'll do't).
  • When in doubt, add "-eth" to the end of verbs (he runneth, he trippeth, he falleth).
  • To add weight to your opinions, start your sentence with "Methinks."
Thou canst find lots of other ideas on the Talk Like Shakespeare website.  Have fun!
