Scores up soon.
How are the Elizabeths being counted? Will Elizabeth, Elizabeth I and Elizabeth II all be three separate answers?
I think Elizabeth should be counted as Elizabeth II, and the I should be classed as the distinction. But then again, I’m not counting them!
I disagree. Since Elizabeth I and Elizabeth II are two distinctly different people and Elizabeth by itself does not make that distinction, all three should be counted as separate answers.
But then again, I’m not counting them either.
Surely it should be the other way around–the first Elizabeth was simply Queen Elizabeth, and only when the current queen ascended to the throne did they become I and II. Or am I wrong?
Elizabeth = Elizabeth I
Elizabeth I = Elizabeth I
Elizabeth II = Elizabeth II
I don’t know if which one (the collective) you meant when you said Elizabeth, therefore it counts as QE I. (I believe she was just called Queen Elizabeth during her reign, not QE I. Although I could be wrong. ;))
I was just going by the reasoning that if someone said Elizabeth, they meant the most recent one, and the I was an actual stipulation? But I’ll bow to your judgment on the matter, Dolores.
Oz has spoken!
That actually makes sense to me. Not that I’m surprised, mind you.

Well, yeah, but we love you anyway.
Sorry for the hijack but it seems to be that to win all you have to do is wait until 48 or so people have posted and then take the most popular answers and enter them as your own?
Am I missing something?
EDIT: OK. I’ve just spotted the “DO NOT READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWERS” in the OP.
Only slightly more than I, it seems. :smack: :rolleyes: :smack:
Any reason why these aren’t counted as a match? (Aileen Wuornos is the correct spelling, and both names are admittedly unusual. You were going to allow “Epstein” for “Steinem”!)
