Prioritise instead of Prioritize

[edit]

Im an American who watches this show and during the faux conversation between the American Secretary of State and DC, Malcolm and Styles both spell prioritise in that very British way. This would be a dead give away to Styles that he was not talking to an American, and it seems or I would hope, any person would training in espionage even if just basic would not make such a careless mistake. Thought this might need to be noted somewhere in the article.


Trade Secretary

[edit]

Styles has been referred to as US Secretary of State and Trade Secretary throughout the episode. There is no such position as the US Trade Secretary, the closest that comes to it is the US Trade Representative.

Another thing is that the episode mentioned that he is likely to become an Ambassador as a result of his growing popularity. Ambassadors are not elected therefore it does not matter what the the general public thinks for him to be appointed as one.--The Shadow Treasurer (talk) 04:46, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
