I'm definitely aware of this.

This is a very very far stretch from saying your family was royalty. Though i do guess you are technically correct. Forgive me, your highness. lol

Let me add that you've delineated a technicality with no real consequence to my argument. If anything supporting my argument by suggesting that makes anyone proper royalty.

This could potentially be a good argument for more democratic systems.

My grandmother was very proud of the fact that we were descendants of King James (one of them, I couldn't tell you which one, probably the one that abdicated!)

What she didn't understand is that something similar was true of almost everyone she knew.
