| Topic | Is it called England, Britain or the UK? |
| luigi13579 09/04/17 7:08:21 AM #17: | People from Northern Ireland are generally called British too, even if they technically aren't. Colloquially, British is used to mean "from the UK", even if, again, that's not strictly true. And yeah, Ireland is completely separate from the rest of the UK (including NI). That's why Brexit is such a big deal for Ireland and NI. It opens a huge can of worms. See the Good Friday Agreement. Also, for trade, keeping things the same is a terrible deal for Ireland (since basically, you could drive goods from NI to Ireland and ship them to the EU tariff free, despite not being in the EU any more). Parappa09 posted... yeah but they don't like being called british, they prefer scottish >.> I don't really care either way to be honest. I use them both pretty much interchangeably without even thinking about it. pinky0926 posted... but I get triggered if someone calls me English :P Haha, true. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
