The plays display a grammar-school education. (In England, that doesn’t mean elementary school; it means “prep school”, more or less, except it’s free.) The plays display no evidence of cryptography; real cryptographers find the subject embarrassing. The claims that Stratford-upon-Avon was “full of illiterates” and that Shakespeare’s children were illiterate are outright lies. The claim that his parents were illiterate has no proof, and we know that his father was an alderman for years, and even served a term as High Bailiff (more or less mayor). And the fact that we don’t have any letters by Shakespeare mainly proves that he wasn’t royal, noble, or a clergyman. People didn’t save up old letters back then, unless they were important people who had to save all their paperwork. We do, however, have a letter /to/ Shakespeare.

Bacon and Shakespeare are both dead. Have been for years. It doesn’t matter to them at all.
