And they would be wrong. Who did? Well, the jury is not yet in, but the sonnet was possibly invented by Italy's Francisco Petrarch in the 14th century, or it may have originated with some Greek bard (nerd) who wanted to add discipline to the very loose stylings of that era. Apparently Shakespeare could not handle the specified rules of the Petrarchan sonnet, so he tossed them out and even managed to stray from iambic pentameter much of the time. Critics of his day hated Shakespeare with a literary passion. King James liked him, though :-)
