Britpick - What not to call the British army

[ffutures]

Dear fanfic author,

It's the British Army, not the Royal Army, and the British Armed Forces or Her Majesty's Armed Forces, not the Royal Armed Forces. Neither the British Prime Minister or the BBC would get this wrong, and it's in the second paragraph of the Wikipedia article on the Army if you'd bothered to check.

No love,

Marcus

And it's not as if it could be a 'why should I look up something when I (think) I know it?' situation (unless the author lives in a country with a monarchy and a 'Royal Army').

Exactly. Annoyingly, the author comment on my review was that he'll research it. Then nothing happened.
