But aren't the Greek monarchs Danish?
It all seems to be Cake related. Phil the Bubble (Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh) Was Born in Corfu, (Thus he is a Bubble, as in 'Bubble & Squeak', Greek) His Family name is Mountbatten which is the Anglecized version of Battenburg, which is a cake. ANd now you tell me he's a Danish? The Royal family adopted more 'English' sounding names owing to the First Word War, previously they were... "Saxe-Coburg Gotha Hanover Schleswig-Holstein" , which some thought may have sounded a little germanic. So they changed it to "Vindsor"

Ghastly word. I also hate the use of "authored" where people meant "wrote". Where will this creeping use of jobs as verbs end: "The officer policemanned the criminal."? "The fireman firemanned the fire."? "The lollipop lady lollipopped the children."? Designed is a perfectly acceptable word, why the need for "architected"?

...does not appear to be a word, as in "designed". I guess I'll use designed. Marc
I have used, "primary designer and architect" as a descriptive phrase that gets the buzz word bingo going in a valid English sentence.

Idiots even before then - Keats used 'architected' too. Contributors to these forums seem to have no qualms about 'googling' terms; maybe they even text the results to others. What's the big fuss about 'architect'?

Of course she is. She has to be, doesn't she?

Actually, the Royle (intentional misspelling) family "The Windsors" renamed themselves from "Sax-Coberg" (unsure of spelling") last century to avoid their obvious links to Germany creating issues when Britain was at war with them, so I guess Englishness is no requirement. Historically, many more cases abound.

From page 28 on it's not "architected" any more, but "architect" and variations.
