More DescriptionCommunication is more than just arbitrary utterances, and the words that we use to describe things are significant. Words have meanings and we must choose them carefully in order to effectively and accurately exchange ideas. In the Queen's English, the sovereign is a kind, hard-working monarch, who does well for her people. But in her quest to achieve something significant, she allows herself to be deceived by a wicked jester who has alerior motives.
