One of the reasons why many do not find alternative authorships credible is that a more educated individual, such as Marlowe or Bacon, would not have made the obvious geographical errors seen in the plays. This view is demonstrated in Shakespeare's play The Two Gentlemen of Verona.

The Two Gentlemen of Verona (Act 1 Scene 1):

Valentine:

. . . My father at the road

Expects my coming, there to see me shipped.

Proteus:

And tither will I bring thee, Valentine.

Valentine:

Sweet Proteus, no. Now let us take our leave.

To Milan let me hear from thee by letters . . .

As seen on the map to the right, there is no direct water way for Valentine to sail from Venice to Milan. This is an example of geographical knowledge that a person who had gone to Italy or received a university education would have known. These errors can be seen as supporting Shakespeare's authorship given that his education was limited to grammar school.

Do you find these errors credible evidence in favor of Shakespeare's authorship? Why or why not?
