Would you have left this comment if it was someone else talking about their near encounter with a sexual assailant?
- Comment on The Queen was the victim of an attempted indecent assault as a teenager, book claims 10 hours ago:
She’s Queen Consort in comparison to a Sovereign Queen, which Elizabeth II was. She isn’t the monarch, but holds titles as such (for example, addressed as “Her Majesty”, signs off as Camilla R, etc)
- Comment on The Queen was the victim of an attempted indecent assault as a teenager, book claims 11 hours ago:
Both are correct terms.
- Comment on The Queen was the victim of an attempted indecent assault as a teenager, book claims 11 hours ago:
No. She is still Queen Consort.
Calling her “Queen” and “Queen Consort” before and after the coronation were both correct.
Officially, “Queen Consort” was used before the coronation to avoid confusion with Elizabeth II. After the coronation they saw it as fair game to start referring to Camilla as Queen, which had always been historically done with the likes of Queen Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon and Queen Mary of Teck. And chess.

People try and talk their way out of it and dig a deeper hole. For example, what I imagined happening with that Briton arrested for carrying a garden trowel:
“But that tool is sharp, right?” “A bit” “If someone attacked you, would you stab them with it?” “Probably” “You’ve just admitted to carrying an offensive weapon. Accept this caution or we’ll escalate this further”

We could just write safety regulations and get Chinese companies to follow them when sending their drones here

For example, people say it’s hard to find a job in the Uk, while “only” 4% of people are unemployed here. That 4% is a looot of people. Now, sure, let’s say that some men don’t want to get married. But I doubt it’s anywhere near 15%
- Comment on Anon is a fact checker 5 days ago:
15% is still quite bad tbh

It was a question. Does it matter if the author believes in God?

- Comment on Do you read analog clocks to the exact minute? How do you do this quickly? 1 week ago:
Depends on the face. My watch has a section for each minute. So I’ll see if it’s 30 seconds or more past the hour. If it isn’t Then it’s the minute the hand is closest to. Else, it’s minus one. I set my watch to the second exactly, although it does drift over time.
