A Random Thought.

I was thinking recently about the discord in academic ranks over the question of whether William Shakespeare wrote the plays attributed to him, and the popular dissenting view that the Earl of Oxford had a major hand in the affair. It struck me as surprising that I’ve never yet heard anybody claim that they were written by a woman.

And can anybody tell me what this means in internet shorthand: \^o^/. It was a reply I got to a YouTube comment. Does it mean that the respondent agrees or disagrees? It looks to me like somebody sticking their fingers in their ears.
