It's a new day... enough trading self-styled insults with a pretentious Dwarf...
Although, for the record, I am aware that Imperial is
considered to be a higher term than Royal, but I deliberately chose to use Royal because:
A. I like it better.
B. It's more correctly Gondorian.
C. Imperial is a term that references Empire- and thus relates to people who rule Empires. It has nothing to do with the nobility of birth, whereas Royal is derived from the French "Roi"- or King, and is thus directly connected to the nobility of one's station.
(And, for those who have nothing better to do than listen to me chatter, there is a bit of a family legend on my Mom's Mom's Dad's side of the family that we are descended from a Prince Michael. Thus, I have some very slight, nefariously pretentious claim to real royalty. Those with proper pedigrees need not apply.

Once more into the breach, eh my dear Morm?
