What mistake bugs you the most in your language?

Hi Jamie,

Hi Englishuser,

Don't you think that the days of royalty are numbered? Why would anyone apart from historians be interested in those titles?

That's the QEII, I think.

Ol' Liz must be upset that it wasn't named appropriately:

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, Ruler of the Seas, Head of the Realm, Conqueror of France, Scourge of Evil, Founder of Bliss, Suppressor of Strife, Mother of Britannia II.

Hi Tom,

Do you mean that QEII herself is the person most likely to be interested in preserving those old fashioned and award titles? Maybe Englishuser is a member of the royal family too?

no, I was just poking a little fun.

I bet she's down-to-earth enough not to mind being abbreviated to QEII.

...or Elizabeth, or Queen, or Your/Her Majesty.

I would imagine she doesn't require her secretary to say, "Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth The Second's office. How may we help you?" upon answering the phone.

Hi prezbucky,

Hi Jamie,

Hi Englishuser,

What makes you think the Queen is "an expert of the English language"? How do you define "English expert" anyway? Do you think there is a difference between an "English expert" and an "English language expert"?

Hi Gronny,
