...what? I'm not in the military, and I'm certainly not head of the Zuoaves. I can't grant ranks or define requirements. It's been a while, so maybe you've forgotten some of the details of the plan?
The idea was to dedicate one entire branch of the military to language promotion. So someone's going to have to get the MinDef to install me as head of something (I suggested the Zuoaves, but whatever, I'll be an Admiral if he prefers, it's all nonsense) and give me authority to remake a branch as I see fit, if you do still want to do this plan. Or if you changed your mind and want to manage this, ask them to commission you instead, and do it yourself.

Me, in response to you: "Ok, how about this. You take the leadership position and decide which texts are worthy of a promotion based on length and type, then pass them on to me, I'll give them a read-through, and if they're good, you handle the various bits of bureaucratic machinery required to validate people."
You, in response to me: "Deal."

Okay, so I'm happy to do it, but I need the power to do so! The whole idea is based around a series of ranks which I have no authority to grant. How about it, D:na Seneschal? Have your MinDef put me at the top of one of the military branches and we can try something big and new?

And please don't patronize me. It's not nice. It makes other people feel bad.

Wasn't trying to be patronizing any more than you were trying to be rude, I'm sure. You told me to go ahead with the plan as though that were possible, so I thought you might have forgotten what the plan was over the past weeks.

Rudeness was not my intention. I was attempting to draw attention back to what you'd agreed to do. Once you agreed to do it, execution became your responsibility.

Ok, fine. Anyway, I will be happy to do so once I am able to do so. You're head of el Büreu del Glheþ, so could you ask your colleague in Interior to get on this, so we can get started? Or ask the Seneschal?

Or ask the Seneschal? I should advise everyone here that the Cabinet is aware of this proposal, and it's proving surprisingly controversial. As enough people in Talossa seem to think I'm a wannabe dictator, the last thing I would ever want to do is to whip my Cabinet into line, I've asked the Ministers involved to explain their problems here.

I do have an entirely unrelated question: Why is the abbreviation for the Urðeri dal Glhimbă Purpül “UrGP”? «glh» is a trigraph according to Talossan orthography, which means that the abbreviation should be at least “UrGlhP”, but if we want to stick to a maximum of four letters in titles, we might also choose “Glh.”, or “UGlh”, which also means “eye”, if Catalan isn’t running interference in my rusty Talossan.
P.S.: Maybe this has been discussed somewhere, and I missed it.

If the objection is to my personal leadership, please let it be known that I would be unbelievably delighted if someone else took on this job instead and enacted my idea. That would really be the ideal, in fact.
