A king in medieval Europe knew some Latin but made mistakes. I think there was something like him writing plurals like lemmae instead of lemmata; he treated Greek neuters in -ma as Latin feminines. When it was pointed out that this is wrong, he ordered Latin grammar to be changed so that he is correct. In an unusual act of defiance, scholars refused the king's orders and stated something to the effect of "Latin grammar is above kings".
My memory is leaky, so I may remember something wrong.But the essence is that a king's authority was placed under Latin grammar.I think a neuter in -ma was included, so the king's idea would not have been a completely unnatural simplification.
A long footnote in this 1845 German translation of the poem Hudibras gives Sigismund's sentence as "Date operam ut illa nefanda schisma eradicetur" and attributes the correction to a Cardinal Placentius: "locutio parum grammatica". After a similar interrogation leading to Gallus and Priscian, Sigismund retorts that as Caesar, he outranks those people, and he can very well make a different grammar.
but these sound to me like embroidering. In his History of Friedrich II of Prussia, Thomas Carlyle recounts Menzel's version, adding adverbs like "mildly" and "loftily", no doubt contributing to the story's use as an object lesson in the arrogance of kings. Many sources wrongly attribute the origin of the proverb Caesar non supra grammaticos to this anecdote. Note, though, that Rex Romanus is correct, since in 1414 Sigismund was king of the Romans but not yet Holy Roman Emperor.
Our school's mascot is a knight. The sports teams are the Knights. Our new HM has begun to refer to roundtable things. I'm currently thinking about having an end-of-school knowledge bowl, The Tournament of Knights.
I am looking at doing Duke's King Arthur study which is based on The Once and Future King. I also own Black Horse for the King and Sutcliff's Sword at Sunset which as someone pointed out place Artos in the Dark Ages. I find it difficult to move from what "feels right" historically to versions set in later times. Is the point to give the child a preview of a more serious work like Mallory? Or to familiarize them with a classic story?
3) Uses the same movement as the vintage piece that it is based on. [Editor: To be clear, the watch case that SCVN001 is based upon contains the 56 movement and not the 52 movement. As such, my above statement is, strictly speaking, incorrect. The SCVN001 is a mash of vintage KS, with the case from the 56KS and the movement from the 52KS.]
The bezel is reversed cut, similar to the SARN001 and GS GMT SBGM001. This has the effect of making the bezel and watch dial look like it is a separate piece from the rest of the case cradle, similar to the early Anantas. However this is not true. Other than the case back, the rest of the body are machined from a single piece of steel. [Editor: This is incorrect and the bezel/crystal retaining ring is indeed a separate piece of metal, and not part of the watch case itself.]
It would also have been great if it was a monobloc case (where there is no case back and the movement can only be accessed after taking out the front crystal and dial face), similar to its predecessors from the first 2 generations as shown in the preceding picture, however for servicing reasons, I assume a case back would make it a lot easier for watch technicians.

She is queen for the day. [an old TV show]. Please note though: It is not a mistake to say: The lion is the king of the jungle. or: Lions are the kings of the jungle. But you lose the edginess of the set phrase. :)

This rule also applies in Indo-European languages, and it also behaves similarly. Indo-European languages also have a robust system of affixation, meaning lots of prefixes, suffixes, and the occasional infix, where an affix is inserted in the middle of the word.

Of Scot-Irish ancestry, Stephen Edwin King was born in Portland, Maine in 1947. He attended the grammar school in Durham and then Lisbon Falls High School. From his sophomore year at the University of Maine at Orono, he wrote a weekly column for the school newspaper. He was also active in student politics, arriving at his stance that the war in Vietnam was unconstitutional. He graduated in 1970, with a B.A. in English and qualified to teach on the high school level.
In embryonic stem cells (ESCs), a core transcription factor (TF) network establishes the gene expression program necessary for pluripotency. To address how interactions between four key TFs contribute to cis-regulation in mouse ESCs, we assayed two massively parallel reporter assay (MPRA) libraries composed of binding sites for SOX2, POU5F1 (OCT4), KLF4, and ESRRB. Comparisons between synthetic cis-regulatory elements and genomic sequences with comparable binding site configurations revealed some aspects of a regulatory grammar. The expression of synthetic elements is influenced by both the number and arrangement of binding sites. This grammar plays only a small role for genomic sequences, as the relative activities of genomic sequences are best explained by the predicted occupancy of binding sites, regardless of binding site identity and positioning. Our results suggest that the effects of transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) are influenced by the order and orientation of sites, but that in the genome the overall occupancy of TFs is the primary determinant of activity.
Transcription factors are proteins that flip genetic switches; their role is to control when and where genes are active. They do this by binding to short stretches of DNA called cis-regulatory sequences. Each sequence can have several binding sites for different transcription factors, but it is largely unclear whether the transcription factors binding to the same regulatory sequence actually work together. It is possible that each transcription factor may work independently and there only needs to be critical mass of transcription factors bound to throw the genetic switch. If this is the case, the most important features of a cis-regulatory sequence should be the number of binding sites it contains, and how tightly the transcription factors bind to those sites. The more transcription factors and the more strongly they bind, the more active the gene should be. An alternative option is that certain transcription factors may work better together, enhancing each other's effects such that the total effect is more than the sum of its parts. If this is true, the order, orientation and spacing of the binding sites within a sequence should matter more than the number. One way to investigate to distinguish between these possibilities is to study mouse embryonic stem cells, which have a core set of four transcription factors. Looking directly at a real genome, however, can be confusing and it is difficult to measure the effects of different cis-regulatory sequences because genes differ in so many other ways. To tackle this problem, King et al. created a synthetic set of cis-regulatory sequences based on the four core transcription factors found in mouse stem cells. The synthetic set had every combination of two, three or four of the binding sites, with each site either facing forwards or backwards along the DNA strand. King et al. attached each of the synthetic cis-regulatory sequences to a reporter gene to find out how well each sequence performed. This revealed that the cis-regulatory sequences with the most binding sites and the tightest binding affinities work best, suggesting that transcription factors mainly work independently. There was evidence of some interaction between some transcription factors, because, of the synthetic sequences with four binding sites, some worked better than others, and there were patterns in the most effective binding site combinations. However, these effects were small and when King et al. went on to test sequences from the real mouse genome, the most important factor by far was the number of binding sites. Synthetic libraries of DNA sequences allow researchers to examine gene regulation more clearly than is possible in real genomes. Yet this approach does have its limitations and it is impossible to capture every type of cis-regulatory sequence in one library. The next step to extend this work is to combine the two approaches, taking sequences from the real genome and manipulating them one by one. This could help to unravel the rules that govern how cis-regulatory sequences work in real cells.
Ah, grammar. There a few subjects that inspire as much perfectionism (or is that pedantry?), and like all writers, it pains me to see a misplaced apostrophe out in the wild. But it isn't often we see one in a major ad campaign for one of the world's biggest brands.
