> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > Neither Ian McKellen nor Patrick Stewart has been knighted. McKellen is a CBE and Stewart OBE. Incorrect both times. [McKellen was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1991](http://www.thebiographychannel.co.uk/biographies/ian-mckellen.html) and [Stewart was knighted in 2010](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10217872). As such, both men are entitled to be addressed as “Sir,” as in Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Patrick Stewart. ---

Those articles (and you) are using the term incorrectly - though in a fairly common corruption. Neither has been knighted, because neither has been awarded the necessary rank. ---

As such, both men are entitled to be addressed as “Sir,” as in Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Patrick Stewart. You might want to read [this](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_British_Empire). The GBE and KBE appear to be the only awards that convey the title of knight. But prior to RNATB’s post, I had always assumed that anyone who was entitled to be called “sir” had been knighted. ---

Nitpicks: the GBE and KBE are the only ranks in the _Order of the British Empire_ that come with the title of knight. There are other orders (such as the Order of the Thistle and [Order of the Garter](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_Knights_and_Ladies_of_the_Garter)) whose members may reach knight rank; the OBE is just the biggest. ---

Stewart and McKellen are [Knights Bachelor](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knight_Bachelor). It is possible to be a Knight Bachelor and a junior member of an order of chivalry without being a knight of that order. Other Knights Bachelor are Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Elton John. Regardless of their membership in lesser orders of chivalry, they are all considered knights. ---

It is possible to be a Knight Bachelor and a junior member of an order of chivalry without being a knight of that order. Other Knights Bachelor are Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Elton John. Regardless of their membership in lesser orders of chivalry, they are all considered knights. I’m beginning to think this is too complicated for me. :smack: ---

Fun fact: [Ian McKellen married Patrick Stewart last year.](http://www.bbcamerica.com/anglophenia/2013/09/sir-ian-mckellen-officiates-at-sir-patrick-stewarts-wedding/) To his third wife, Sunny. McKellen is an ordained minister. 🙂 ---

> [@Boyo\_Jim](#): > > You mean you didn’t see the clip all over the news. Let me give you a hint… “Cliven” Is this like an anagram? Ok, lemme see, “Cliven”, Cliven, Cliven… Ooh ooh I know, “Elvic n”. Ok so “Elvic” is just a misspelled “Elvis” but with a “c” to throw people off. Now what could the “n” be? Going through my dictionary of “n” words the only one that makes any sense is napping. So she got a video of Elvis napping? I mean that’s cool and all but not very exciting. ---

> [@LurkerInNJ](#): > > … > I told one person whom I trusted in PM (who also gave me some very good advice) what I have, and they agreed not to share it with the board, and if they drop in I’m sure they will concur that this can’t be duplicated. I discussed how to monetize a video in general terms via PM with the OP. Just a few days before this thread started I helped start another video on its way to going viral. That video has had more than 5 million views since then on YouTube and made a decent amount for the videographer. The OP described the content of her video to me and I agree it had good potential for making some money assuming it is as described. However I have not seen the video. No, the video could not possibly be duplicated exactly. You would have had to be there. I suppose it is possible that a similar event could occur again, but I’ve not seen such. ---

I don’t really care about that. I just want to see the video. I don’t get why you wouldn’t tell us about it here after you monetized it, as it would give you more views. That suggests the OP didn’t release it. ---
