Well, okay, the Hebrew on this user image actually says "Shakespeare." Everything else here, not so much.

insertshakespearereferencehere: It bugs me so much when people post No Fear versions of the text when the original is even better. (“He jests at scars that never felt a wound.”) And it’s worse when you can clearly see that it is No Fear and not Shakespeare. The word choice, meter, EVERYTHING is off. And it’s the worst when people are like “I love Shakespeare” under it. Obviously not, if you believe that the No Fear test is Shakespeare. (Sorry if this was a little bitch-y or rant-y, it just is a pet peeve of mine.)
