Re Shakespearean English:

Isn't it harder to understand because of the Renaissance slang? I mean, it's kind of like400 years from now and someone reads something (provided that people still read in 400 years) where a character says "You got Punk'd!" or something like that.

Also, has anyone noticed regional tone (not accent), especially for some ethnic groups? For some reason, I can always tell a "Chinese" voice/style even if the person speaks completely accentless English. There's also an Italian voice.style (think Rudy Guiliani or Martin Scorsese) that I've noticed in Italian-Americans and Italian-Canadians over a certain age.
