The British are this month celebrating the 800th anniversary of Magna Carter, a document more than three times as old as the United States.
Me thinks the news channels need to learn to spell!
I watched a documentary on this the other day, and then an historical fiction movie about the aftermath of the signing. A lot of my ancestors were signers, but I had no idea why most them died shortly (within a year or 2) after signing!
The Magna what?

Good, you know the concept:

Scots have got plenty of R. But go to Boston, and you'll find as little of it as you would on the BBC.
Anyway: Magna Carta is Latin, not English at all.
