You're an idiot and probably a troll. There is absolutely no truth to this whatsoever. Such detailed analysis has been done on Shakespeare's vocabulary and language that it is impossible for it to be the work of many writers.

Side note - why do millennials talk this way? No one "dates" anymore, they're just "talking" or "hanging out" or if it lasts long, they're "seeing each other." And no one says they have sex, they use HS-level euphamisms like "hooking up" - which can mean anything from making out, ahem sorry "first base," onward.
Why does it bother you the words people use to describe a dating situation?
FYI I'm 27 and all 20 somethings I know don't euthanize their language about hooking up. "Oh yeah we are boning" "I porked her" "I effed her brains out" are common terms.

Because the word dating suffices ? Only monosyllabic cretins need to create new words to sound cool and hip.

No, just saying that I'm not some layman making a blanket statement like the poster who wrote the comment in question.
academia in the humanities = layman making a blanket statement. Self selection...

Euphemize, maybe? Though the thought of euthanasia and yourself is very tempting.

Aristotle was wrong about f**king EVERYTHING. It's a sham he is famous, and let's hope an Aristotle equivalent is NOT the pride of the female gender.
I used to respect you...
Here's a female Einstein:

Marie Curie was wicked smart.
I forgot to mention that deaf alcoholic Beethoven was a crappy composer. Only his last symphony was any good.
The top female chess player is ranked 69th in the world. We may never see a woman as world champion.
