Janice in NJ | BS: Swear allegiance to the Crown? (48) | RE: BS: Swear alligance to the Crown? | 19 Feb 06 |
Jim, the answer is very simple. The Act of Union of 1707 which united England and Scotland as Great Britain was not one of equal partners. England was the dominant nation and Scotland was the subject nation, so English numeration continued. As far as I know, the English didn't even consider starting counting all over again. |
