Evidence (2016-04-03): Dear Quote Investigator: The influential Irish playwright and commentator George Bernard Shaw has been credited with a humorous remark about language. Here are four versions: [...] In 1936 an article in "The New York Times" ascribed a viewpoint to Shaw about the relations between England and Ireland that hinged on a shared language:[8] 1936 June 30, New York Times, Topics of The Times, Quote Page 18, New York. (ProQuest) [...] In June 1943 a newspaper in Bellingham, Washington printed an instance attributed to Shaw:[14] 1943 June 15, The Bellingham Herald, Anglo-Yankee Problems, Quote Page 4, Column 1, Bellingham, Washington.

Evidence (2014-08-31): The first expression is usually attributed to the famous playwright George Bernard Shaw, but the citations I have seen are unconvincing. I do not wish to reference a business book published in 2000 to support an ascription to Shaw. Would you please examine this topic? Quote Investigator: There is no substantive evidence that George Bernard Shaw who died in 1950 made this statement. The saying has been linked to Shaw only in very recent decades. [...] In conclusion, QI believes that William H. Whyte should be credited with the expression he used in the September 1950 citation. Pierre Martineau helped to popularize the adage, but he did not craft it. QI conjectures that the different versions in circulation evolved from Whyte’s statement. The linkage of the statement to George Bernard Shaw appears to be spurious.

Evidence (2024-09-12): - The Nobel Prize - George Bernard Shaw - Spartacus Educational - Biography of George Bernard Shaw - International Journal of Advance Research and Innovative Ideas in Education - G.B. Shaw: The Dramatist and His Plays - Amercian Society of Authors and Writers - George Bernard Shaw - Dictionary of Irish Biography - George Bernard Shaw [...] George Bernard Shaw (born July 26, 1856, Dublin, Ireland—died November 2, 1950, Ayot St. Lawrence, Hertfordshire, England) was an Irish comic dramatist, literary critic, and socialist propagandist, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1925. [...] George Bernard Shaw was the third and youngest child (and only son) of George Carr Shaw and Lucinda Elizabeth Gurly Shaw. Technically, he belonged to the Protestant "ascendancy"—the landed Irish gentry—but his impractical father was first a sinecured civil servant and then an unsuccessful grain merchant, and George Bernard grew up in an atmosphere of genteel poverty, which to him was more humiliating than being merely poor. At first Shaw was tutored by a clerical uncle, and he basically rejected the schools he then attended; by age 16 he was working in a land agent’s office.

Evidence (2015-10-09): During the first half of the twentieth century, Shaw became one of the most celebrated, commented on, and quoted literary figures of the age. In the public domain and in theatrical circles he was widely regarded as a major contributor to the English dramatic tradition, and as belonging to the international company of playwrights such as Ibsen, Strindberg, Wilde, Chekhov, and Pirandello as creators of some of the classics of modern drama. In the sub-title of his third large-scale biographical work on Shaw, published in 1956, Archibald Henderson boldly, if controversially, named him ‘man of the century’. But the recognition and acclaim accorded to Shaw in the outside world was not widely echoed in the groves of academe. On the contrary, Shaw was largely ignored in the dominant critical discourses of the mid-twentieth-century. In the introduction to his 1953 collection of essays on Shaw, Louis Kronenberger justifiably remarked that ‘what stands forth glaringly is the extent to which Shaw has not been written about – that is to say, by the most influential of our serious critics’.
