In Canada or UK (and probably other commomwealth countries) the term crown refers to the state or the government, the folks who get prosecuted you in a criminal case. In some cases, the crown is represented by a crown attorney (the corresponding department) or state. Though the name represents the Crown law in many other ways, the Crown gets not just given to the defendant person, but to other states.
The Crown couldn’t prove that” meaning that the point in question couldn’t be proven against the accused by the entire legal side (the lawyers, witnesses for Crown etc) that is arguing for conviction. (Technically, witnessses don’t care if you’re convicted or not and are just coming forward to tell the truth.). In practice, each is either a Crown witness or a defense witness, and generally believe you to be guilty or innocent and want you convicted or acquitted.) But a contrast might be “the defense proved that” some other statement was true. Who has the burden of proof: the Supreme Court has to prove that an object is innocent; nor does the defense need to prove innocence. But there
is no doubt whether the Crown has a right to kill or innocence.

Asked on March 27, 2021 in Word choice.
When I first started travelling on business to us from Canada, I felt a bit miffed that my “Thank you”s were not being acknowledged. Not with “you’re welcome”, not with “happy to”, or “no trouble at all” or even “no problem”. Never mind a “thank you” / “Thank you” response. But then I noticed that almost all the time, there was a little “uh huh” At first that irritated me more, and then I developed a mental translation between “uh-huh” and “you’re welcome” and my business trips became less stressful.
I don’t think anyone will find you weird if you say “you’re welcome” to each thank you. Don’t judge people or their opinions by what they say to you or your thank yous. How can you make this information? It varies wildly.
