Thanks, Alex. That was interesting. I think that you like it because the "original pronunciation" is a little like the Scots pronunciation. Bruce |

Yes there are elements which are very close, Bruce, but I think the Scots accent at the time would have sounded quite alien to Shakespeare, despite -or maybe even because of - the fact that his new King (Jamie the Saxt of Scotland, First of England) had Scots as a first language (as opposed to �Inglis �).
