While this may be meant as a joke, it actually raises an important point. Perhaps to us in modern times, it seems Shakespeare broke some grammar rules. But grammar rules have changed over the years. And so has spelling, and even pronunciation. Thus, you may think he made a mistake by our standards, but by the standards of the late 1500s, what he was doing was considered acceptable. So, rather than arresting him, the Grammar Police should admire him for what he taught us about our ever-changing language: his beautiful and clever use of the English of his day has been an inspiration to generations of poets, authors, and playwrights.
