I am a devotee of the HBO series Deadwood, what I noticed is their attempt to use 19th Century American venicular...but everytime I see the program I the thought runs through my mind that they are copyiing Shakespear.

Back in the day, the one book everyone owned and most people read was the King James version of the Bible. That King James came a little bit after Shakespear's day, I think.
Modern media - movies, radio and now TV has killed off most of what was interesting about regional speech patterns and dialects..
