>It would be more accurate to state that Shakespeare is considered to be the greatest writer using the English language. There are other writers who used languages other than English who are also considered as great.
>One problem with people who only speak English is that they think that there is no other language. In fact they think ours is the ideal society. Even those that speak English argue if England (UK) or the United States is superior. If you don’t believe me just ask someone from the UK or the USA! :)
In high-school they taught us that these were the greatest writers:
German, Goethe
English, Shakespeare
Spanish, Cervantes Saavedra
Italian, Dante A.
Greek, Homer
But never a word about Chinese, Russian, Arabic et all.... so the teaching wasn't great either
