| William Shakespeare, the donator of words to English |
In every language vocabulary, coupled with other rules of grammar,
plays major role in producing an effective piece of writing. Apart from that,
using different –yet appropriate – words make a person a brilliant and
persuasive speaker. The more a person is good in playing with the words is the
more in convincing people to his contentions. The same principle applies to
English language as well. We very often, while speaking or writing words, do
not realize who and how the very word came into existence. As a matter of fact,
words and languages came into existence after an evolution process. Many men ofletter make their contribution in enriching any language with a waste treasure
of words. Among these great people, William Shakespeare has invented more than
100 words in English language and many of these words are the most common in
usage. In the following we have selected these 15 words for which Shakespeare
is credited with invention and which are the most common in use, if not indispensable
for the language. Have a look at these words and pay gratitude to Shakespeare
for these –and many more – words. You will, then, realize that Shakespeare did not only contributed English literature with his magnificent dramas but he also contributed significantly to the treasure of vocabulary.
10-Luggage

| Luggage Area in a Busy Airport |
We do travel –though for different purposes from exploring the world, to attend business meetings, to pursue education or to find work to earn – from one place to other and one thing which is essential in, almost, all traveling is the luggage in which we pack our belonging for which we might be needing during or after the journey. Meaning literally “suitcases or other bags in which to pack personal belongings for traveling” the word ‘luggage’ was invented by William Shakespeare in the act V scene IV of the part I of his masterpiece play ‘King Henry IV’. He wrote;
"This is the strangest fellow, brother John. Come, bring your luggage nobly on your back: For my part, if a lie may do thee grace, I'll gild it with the happiest terms I have".
