i still dont get it!

Its not my plan to be unkind,but how do people who dont speak English,set themselves up as experts on this subject?
If they wish to say things like "he wrote me",
instead of "to me", or " veeehikel" instead of "car" , or" Waarter" instead of " water",
then that is up to them. Leave the study of English Poetry to those people who have the tools to do the job.Have a nice day because it Awesome.Here in Aussie they are totally uncouth but at least they are honest and straightforward.

I'm Australian, of English-Scottish-Californian descent, and found it very disconcerting the first time I heard Shakespeare in American accents, but some American accents are closer to the English accents of Shakespeare's day than to English-English accents today (or Australian-English accents, for that matter) - or so linguists say.

Where did that comment even come from? The speakers in this video clearly speak a perfectly fine quality of English... I'll go so far as to say I would bet English is in fact each of their first spoken languages. The Folger Shakespeare Library is a pretty respectable resource and I assume the linguists employed there understand the English language just fine.

You smoke crack der in Aussie too? I dig how you adamantly defend english poetry but then jack up your sentence structure like, "fliff, not even countin' it."
So vanguard.

i still dont get iambic pentameter

Iambic pentameter, you gotta move to the right perameter.
Iambic pentameter, you gotta move to the Shakespeare beat.
