Can we instead discuss why somebody who one might have thought would have been a stickler for precise terminology chose to wrap the word royal in quotes? It is, indubitably, a royal wedding. Just because somebody isn't part of _your_ royal family (should you have one) doesn't make him less royal. And whether or not you believe a royal family _should_ exist, it's hard to argue that in fact they (and their ranks and titles) don't exist. Personally I'll be only too happy when Saturday rolls round, and (most of) the world resumes some semblance of normal life. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
