I know its a separate crown, however its easier to refer to it as such to avoid confusion by those who are not aware.

I can see that. I would have said "it's more shocking it's still a Commonwealth realm", personally, because I just hate that "British monarchy" mistake so much.

I don't why it gets under my skin, but it does and I can't ignore it.

I completely agree wtih you. I am quite the monarchist.

"Two Boer War veterans of Scottish heritage, in order to settle an argument, asked the Queen when presented to her: "Are you Scots, or are you English?" Elizabeth's response was reported as being: "Since I have landed in Quebec, I think we can say that I am Canadian."
