If you're writing books set in a society where there are inherited titles or offices, it's a good idea to know the difference between an heir apparent and an heir presumptive. Especially if you're going to use one or both of those terms. This means you, K J Parker and David Weber.

I was the heir apparent to an heir presumptive. And then someone had a son.

Swizz!
