Thanks.

I recall reading (in Fischer?) that Revere would not have said “The British are coming” since at that time he considered himself British. He would have said
“The regulars are coming.”

Yes, American-British or some such. I really don’t like the “American” vs. “British” phraseology. I call it what they were - REBELS. But admitting ours were “rebels” would offend the Yankees who want to squelch any idea that it was OK to rebel.
