These questions originally appeared in a slightly different form in Coined By Shakespeare: Words and Meanings First Penned by the Bard by Jeffrey McQuain and Stanley Malless.

4. What is the longest word used by Shakespeare (and in what play does it appear)?

5. Shakespeare's plays were first printed in quarto and folio forms. What is the main difference between a quarto and a folio?
   Answer

1. Love's Labor's Lost.
2. Both Love's Labor's Lost and All's Well That Ends Well.
3. In writing blank verse, Shakespeare primarily used 10 syllables per line as the rule for iambic pentameter, each line having 5 iambs. An iamb is made up of two syllables, specifically an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable (as in "What's MINE is YOURS and WHAT is YOURS is MINE" from Measure for Measure).
4. In the final act of Love's Labor's Lost, Shakespeare uses honorificabilitudinitatibus (from Medieval Latin for "the holding of many honors"). Pity the actor who had to speak that word.
5. The main difference is size; a quarto is roughly half the size of a folio. A printer's sheet of paper is folded once for a folio, making that sheet 2 leaves (or 4 pages); for a quarto, the same-size sheet is folded twice, making 4 leaves (or 8 pages).
