why is it that the UGLE calls pha regular but some grand lodges dont. forgive my ignorance but that seems a little dumb because every regular grand lodge consider UGLE the"mother lodge" so with a little reasoning you would think that if the mother lodge calls pha regular then every "offspring" of the mother lodge would consider it regular

Actually, it's the other way around. The way it works is that UGLE will not recognize a particular PHA GL as regular until & unless the "mainstream" (& I hate that term) GL of that state/country does so. That is one of the reasons PHAGLoT sought recognition as regular from GLoT- so that they could receive the same from UGLE.
on a scale of 1 to 10 how much does being recognized as regular from UGLE mean to you personally
Actually, it is my understanding that UGLE recognized the oldest (as in first to be established) Grand Lodge in a particular state (or country). As GLoT was formed long before MWPHAGLoT, UGLE recognized GLoT and then required PHA to first receive recognition from GLoT before getting it from UGLE. If PHA had been established first, it would have worked the other way around.
Gotcha, that makes sense. But, did UGLE approach US lodges, or vice versa?
