We're often asked why we blog using the majestic plural (the "royal
we"). Truth be told, it's personal. Our 27th great grandfather, King Henry II of England (so charmingly portrayed by Peter O'Toole in the classic film
The Lion in Winter) is credited with the first recorded use of the majestic plural. Please don't mistake our pronouns for "the patronizing
we" (as in, "Aren't
we chipper today?") or "the psychotic
we" (as in Gollum's "We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious.")
