Message discipline

The Australian Republican Movement has been campaigning since 1991 for Australia to become a republic. This means replacing the current constitutional arrangements with a popularly elected Australian president.

Citing their own research, they claim that 92 per cent of Australians either support a republic, or are open to the idea. However, independent polling shows that only 32 per cent of Australians strongly support a republic, and 35 per cent support retaining the constitutional monarchy.  

Undeterred, they launched a campaign branding King Charles's visit to Australia as his "farewell tour." Given the King's ongoing cancer treatment, the timing seems tactless. The Australian Monarchist League described the campaign as "terribly disrespectful." 

I'm inclined to agree with them.

What is a "reverand?"

 

Unpalatable

The helpful folks at CNN excitedly shared details of the newly unveiled official emblem for the coronation of King Charles III. As a creative commons version is unavailable, it cannot be shown here. Reflecting the King's passionately held environmental concerns, it consists of a rose for England, a shamrock for Northern Ireland, a thistle for Scotland, and a daffodil for Wales. Its colours are in red, white, and blue, in keeping with the Union Flag. 

This report describes the colour scheme's emblem as its colour "palate." Palette is the correct word. Palate is the roof of the mouth, and palette is a range of colours.
