Some people say that Shakespeare was the greatest ever writer of the English language. He has crafted some of the most enduring theater scripts ever written, and was so bad-ass with a quill in his hand that he coined many of the words that you and I use every day. Of all the ingenious words credited to Shakespeare, 'Table' is probably the most widely used, however the list runs long.
The Make a Mitch Foundation (MAMF) would like weigh in on centuries of academic debate and, with due respect, suggest otherwise. Firstly, Shakespeare was not named Mitch, or any form of the word Mitch, such as Mitchspeare, or Mitchiam Shakespeare. Secondly, despite the creation of many of our favourite words, such as 'pineapple', 'stapler', and 'nano-technology', Shakespeare missed a massive opportunity to immortalise himself by inventing the greatest word in our language, 'Mitch'.
In conclusion, Shakespeare; not bad, but certainly no Mitch.
