A few things to keep in mind about the courts. thy name is always in capital letters because they are administering the estate of the dead persona they wear black robes because they are involved in matters of the dead they refer to thee as ‘you’ because thou represents the estate of the dead person […]
Using Mister and Miss is NOT polite. It turns people into navy personnel.
We’re taught that it’s impolite to reference someone by their given/first name. It’s not. It’s actually friendly and establishes closer relations. We’re taught to use mister and miss because mister and miss are titles in the navy. We’re all pretending everyone works for the navy or is in the military. Why? Because part of this […]
Flag with gold trim
Any flag with gold trim is a military flag. Most press conferences hosted by governors and mayors have had a gold-trimmed flag in the background. From what I have read, this means they are acting in a military capacity and possibly as an extension of the federal government, not a state government. They are acting […]

United Kingdom described as “four countries”

This involved a case where the court ruled that people can be tried for the same crime by both federal and state governments. A man […]
The film is called ‘The Accused’ not ‘The Defendants’
The ‘accused’ is the man or woman charged with a crime. It’s not the defendant. Something I read recently made me realize this distinction. I don’t know etymology of the word ‘defendant’ or why it’s something to be avoided, but I do know the ‘accused’ seems like the more appropriate label. And the old movie […]
Banks on a river, not for money
Nautical or maritime words are everywhere. Even the word ‘bank’ literally means a river bank. Ships pull up to the bank. They assume I’m a master/mister of a vessel and banked at the river. I expect I need to find a ‘savings and loan’ or a ‘safe deposit’ company, though even the word deposit/depose is […]
