Lee Vian

What I am reading:

• House of Glücksburg: This single family has someone in many European monarchies: Denmark, Greece, United Kingdom, Norway, Spain, ....
• Greek language: Ancient Greek did not have separate formal and informal second person singular pronouns. Modern Greek does. This is the only language I can think of that has gained a T-V distinction - though apparently it's losing it again. Make up your mind, Greek!
