[Replying to a message of R. Michael Litchfield to All]
RML> well if you RWALLY want to get into quibbles you sexist bastard
>> 3. The Crown (him) 4. The Crown (her)
Michael, that was uncalled for.
RML> should actually be;
RML> 3. The Crown
RML> 4. The Consort
RML> shouldn't it?
No, it should actually be:
3. The Sovereign
4. The Consort
Note that these are gender-neutral terms. The Sovereign is the person who won
the Crown Tournament; the Consort is the person they chose to rule with them;
the Crown is the pair (all after their Coronation, of course).
