How many of the 31435 words Shakespeare used do we still use today?
Almost all of the words Shakespeare used are still in common use today. To test this out, take a passage out of one of Shakespeare's plays or sonnets and type it into your word processor. Very few of the words will be marked by the spellchecker and these will mostly be either proper names and unusual contractions of words which are in common use, like e'en for even. The difficulty some people have with Shakespeare's words lies in the fact that most people have a much smaller vocabulary than Shakespeare had. Some people get by with as few as 5000 words, one-sixth of what Shakespeare used, which 5000 include a bunch that Shakespeare did not use. If Shakespeare seems to use a lot of words you don't know it is because you don't know enough words. There is a second difficulty people encounter with Shakespeare's words, which is that he sometimes uses common words with unexpected meanings. Usually these meanings are still there but they are secondary and we don't think about them or know them. So when he has Hamlet talk about "the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune", he means sling like a slingshot not something you use to hold a broken arm and fortune meaning luck not fortune meaning a pile of money. Nevertheless all seven words in the quotation are in common use today.
