Aha! Lo! One of the joys of the calendar this year is that we can celebrate Doris Day Day in Eastertide.
Singalong now.

People who run cathedrals in the Scottish Episcopal Church are called Provosts, in England and in the US and in much of the rest of the Anglican world they are called Deans.
For a while, old cathedrals in England had Deans and new cathedrals had Provosts. They made them all deans a few years ago.
In Scotland we also use the word Provost for the civic leader who would be called a Mayor in a lot of other places.
Deans in Anglican Dioceses in Scotland are similar to Archdeacons in England or Canons to the Ordinary in the states.

Usually I find that such hierarchical niceties have been worked out as a result of disputes of rather a long time ago.

Vet II
“Just put this cream on her eye twice a day for five days….” What fun to have a vet with such an extraordinarily well developed sense of humour. I bet he lies awake chuckling at night at the instructions he has given people during the day.
