So, Mayor Guiliani was knighted, but the AP reported that he cannot rightly be called “Sir Rudolph”, but why?. Also, it said that over 200 “Britons” were killed in the 9/11 attack. I thought that the term Briton is considered archaic. Just asking, but whenever I hear the word Briton, it is usually used to refer to a British person in the Dark Ages. Plz inform me!
Thanks,
