    Well Faulkner did write the sound and the fury. But she was honest enough to apologize.

      True, but speed kills and the glee and sarcasm got smoked. It’s called being out over your skills and it was a yard sale ending.

                    That's one of my favourite Shakespearean quotes.

                    It's ironic how many people piled on with her, and also how many people who are now piling on against her probably had no freaking idea where the quote came from, either.

                    I can't speak for the rest of the country, but my kids have been far too busy learning about America to do much Shakespeare.

                    I was only joking

                              I know that there's a famous writer of that name, but I still don't get it. Maybe I'm missing background on Faulkner (which doesn't extend much beyond knowing the name).

                                OK, I see, it seems to be a confusion around a novel by Faulkner, "The Sound and the Fury", whose title was inspired by Shakespeare.

                                  Bottom line - Faulkner ripped off a Shakespearean line, and now the yanks are trying to pretend they invented it.

                                          Bottom line - Faulkner ripped off a Shakespearean line, and now the yanks are trying to pretend they invented it.

                                          I guess it's ok, since Shakespeare didn't write Shakespeare.πŸ˜„

                                          They say it was actually another guy with the same name.
