Absolutely, Jim. Apparently one of the other words 'Howard the Historian'
doesn't like and wants removed from any document of reconciliation is
'colonised'. This despite the fact that Britain always described its
conquests as colonies and the whole Empire was run from the Colonial Office.
Perhaps instead of colonised he would prefer 'adoption'. Might even make a
good substitute for 'stolen', as in the Adopted Generation? Who says
language doesn't matter.
