Wow, look who is here! You're not going to believe this but I was only talking about you on the site a couple of days ago. Either your ears were burning or you just knew I missed you. :)

I'm glad you still pop up every now and again, #1 fan.

Word to that, dappy. I do believe you, I saw that fucking post about nurses who swear in front of their patients and I thought, "Who the fuck cares if I say a few goddamn swears while I save your fucking life, you dickhead?" That OP is a puss-ay bitch, in my opinion.
Anyway. Missed your ass, too, dapps. Good to see you.

Yay! I'm glad you saw it. I help train student nurses and they're an earthy, sweary bunch, and I fucking love it. I kind of think they have to be the crap they'll need to put up with!

You have to be careful with that. People in my country might start debating the name we're often given. England, the UK, Great Britain, The British Islands, and The British Isles are five different things (none of them refer to the same area of land).

You never really hear us being picky about it, though. If we know what someone means, that's often good enough. We just have to be very specific in treaties (even moreso when we talk about overseas dependencies and the Commonwealth).

If I am correct I think it goes like this (honestly a bit confusing) okay:

England = England

The UK = England, Scotland, Wales, Islands, Isles, and Northern Ireland

Great Britain = England, Scotland, Wales, Islands and Isles

I am sure I fucked something up, please correct me because I have always wanted to know.

You did better than most people who live here. :)

Great Britain is England and Scotland. Wales isn't included because it's not a country but a principality. Out of niceness, though, Wales gets included, so Great Britain is the "big" island and nothing else.

The United Kingdom is the same but includes Northern Ireland.

The British Islands includes all the above plus the six thousand islands around our shores including places that have their own government and money (like the Isle of Man). They have plastic money, the oldest 'continuous' parliament in the world, and no speed limits. They also have my cousins, who were born Manx and are quite proud of it. It's pretty much modern-day Viking with a language that is a cross between Gaelic, Latin and Norse, but mainly Gaelic.

Finally, the British Isles includes the Republic of Ireland even though it's very definitely a different country.

We'll leave dependencies for another day. ;)

I knew Ireland (without the north) was it's own country, I didn't know that it was part of the Isles. I also didn't know Wales wasn't a country. I have learned something new. Thank you.

If you want to walk around saying the entire name all the time, you go right ahead.


However that can end up looking rather long-winded in my opinion...

I recognize the fact that it is technically incorrect, but it doesn't bother me much. I guess I pay no attention and just move on to the next topic.

I don't really give it much thought. It's a term that means different things to different people. In context, I can usually tell what someone means by using the word.

I say the usually say "the US" coz anything with "America" sounds patriotic and I'm not American.

Oh, chill out. If my name were nine syllables long, I'd want to shorten it to four. You know what they're talking about.

America is not a big deal . Anyone from south America says they are south amrican anyone from the centrel america say that why cant the rest of poeple just be america ? why the hell are you being so damn picky ?
Comment Hidden (show)
Used to be that way but just go to Europe or Canada and all you hear is "The States" or "America". once I even said to a Canadian: "You're in America too" and he said: "No, You're in America; I'm in Canada."

Times Change.
