...or would you keep quiet about it and agree with her?

just a general wonderment.

Well, by 'something', I simply mean if she said or did something which, under normal circumstances, someone may correct, such as a grammar error for example (though I know the Queen is known to have good grammar).

I would correct her.

I've been called so many things that at this point I'll answer to just about anything, so I'd probably just agree with her...unless I was being knighted or something official, but I'd take care of that beforehand.

Anyway, shouldn't she have some sort of staff person to make sure she gets it right? You know, the person at parties who whispers into her ear "that's the ambassador from Russia, and that's Mimi, the woman he left his wife for" or something like that...?

If I met H.M. QE2 of the UK [at the moment] and she said my name wrong - it wouldn't bother me at all, I certainly wouldn't correct her - imagine how many names she must have to remember every day, when she would probably prefer to get away from it all, put her slippers on and relax or go for a ride on her horse! Now on the other hand 'or something' really needs defining to be answered!

Yes I would correct her there has been many queens only one of me. And nobility means nothing in a democracy or anarchy.
I live in a democracy but I am Anarchist but i dont demonstrate my beliefs. There is no need for rulers because everyone is human no matter what everyone thinks. The original idea of communism was o.k. but what they turned it into was not.
Basic idea of Communism was that everything would be shared thus eliminating poverty but no one shared equally that is why it failed.

Yes. It would only be polite. But you will find that she would get a discreet whisper in the ear from an aid before apologising and using your correct name.

The Queen would never get your name wrong. She would have been briefed before hand as to who you are and is always world perfect.

If by some fluke of fate, she did get my name wrong, I would ignore it. However she would be corrected by one of her attendants and more than likely apologise.

No, I would smile and carry on.
After all, queen or not she is still a little old lady and deserves the respect that I give to little old ladies.

I don't think I will ever find out the answer tot his question as I will never meet the queen

Speaking of today, I wouldn't ask it to be corrected unless it's my name on the Knighthood which is unlikely for someone who smokes green.

i always correct people when they say my name wrong... usually the first 12 times we meet.

The Queen would be no different.

i want people to know me... not some obscure version of me... and that starts with getting my name right.

magnificent him for the time of instructions, grab the possibility to magnificent him whilst ever he called you occasion for attendance. occasion: (Checking attendance) the place's Kara, Then grab the possibility and say "Excuse me sir yet my call is Karla no longer Kara." say that in a well mannered way so he won't experience that your attempting to be impolite.
