That treaty has spawned much more complex conspiracy theories than that.
It begins with what ought to be a harmless statement roughly to the effect that "the hearts of KIng Goerge and of the United States of America are
inclined towards peace".
Unfortunately the full text lists all the king's titles, ending with "Elector of Hanover". Years ago, one prominent member of ATS, now gone, was
fixated on the point that the words "and of the United States" follow on from "Elector of Hanover". So he insisted on reading it as a claim that
Goerge was Elector of both countries. He could not get it into his stupid head that the sentence made no grammatical sense if one of the two subjects
of the plural verb disappeared.
