It's been a while since I looke at it, but...
Didn't Aliki use the term "remove" in the kid's book 
"A Medieval Feast"?

I dunno... In general, the SCA officially does not pretend 
to merchant class _anything_. 
And a Scadian, I should think would only say "members 
have the potential to become a Knight." 
In the SCA nobility is assumed. I would think that any 
Scadian writing this phrase would say, instead, "Members 
are all noblity unless they choose otherwise."

Actually, Sounds to me more like one of those reports that 
Kids write and submit to the local papers as a part of a 
journalism project.

There are SO damn many more things I want to try in 
the SCA than I can possibly have time for. 
It's killing me!!!

Upon the hempen tackle ship-boys climbing;
Hear the shrill whistle which doth order give
To sounds confused; behold the threaden sails,
Borne with the invisible and creeping wind,
Draw the huge bottoms through the furrow'd sea,
Breasting the lofty surge: O, do but think
You stand upon the ravage and behold
A city on the inconstant billows dancing;
For so appears this fleet majestical,
Holding due course to Harfleur.
