'Conviction (1)'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Indeed, bt, that is ALWAYS the subtext. To be fair, my seniors (in general) were much better than my freshmen. But often, even with coaching and rubrics and examples, feedback was, shall we say, less than helpful.
I still loved them, though. Even when it was like cat-herding.
There's definitely a lot of German there. I forget the names of the family before they called themselves Windsor.
I'm a serious anti-monarchist, but I can't see the UK getting rid of the monarchy for at least a few generations. We're too fond of the status quo.

Saxe-Coburg-Goethe? t / high school history class half-remembered stuff
That sounds right.
Yeah, but as an English teacher you don't get to award yourself a new title for telling people how many times they said "um".
Dude, I teach public speaking and don't even get that. I are doin' it wrong.
Well, except for clapping of course. I applaud speakers anywhere else, I'm not going to be less courteous tosomeone who's trying to learn.
Yep. I require it in my class. We clap. We're clappers.
Saxe-Coburg-Goethe was Prince Albert's title, so Victoria was the last of the House of Hanover, Edward was the only S-C-G, and then we get the Windsors, with George changing the name to Windsor in WWI.
Damn, I miss the Tudors and Plantagenets.
ChiKat, they were all self-imposed titles, except for Lady Miss G.
Peter O'Toole is so classic that hardly anyone comments on the double phallus-y.
Consider the soon-to-be Hall of Fame pitcher Randy Johnson, whose nickname was The Big Unit.
None more phallicsome!

If I were a current British politician and the Queen wished to drop a word in my ear re: a situation, I'd be inclined to at least listen to a woman who has been a close observer of the political world for 60 years.

The family name was Hanover; however, Queen Victoria married Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and their children (including the next king, Edward VII) were of that House. George V took the name Windsor when Britain wound up fighting Germany in WWI.
X-post, of course.
